Welcome to episode #051 of The Crisis Intelligence Podcast, with Melissa Agnes and Jeff Reeb.

Jeff Reeb is the Director of the Office of Emergency Management for the County of Los Angeles. Jeff and I met after I gave my TEDx talk earlier this year. While having a conversation with Jeff about LA County’s current strategies for effective emergency management and crisis communication, we thought that it would be fun to record our conversation, as others in the field of emergency management are struggling with many of the same and similar issues.


In this week’s episode of The Crisis Intelligence Podcast, Jeff and I discuss challenging areas of emergency management and crisis preparedness that pertain to counties, cities, municipalities and organizations around the world.


This episode of The Crisis Intelligence Podcast discusses:

The challenges and benefits of using mobile technology for emergency management.
The challenges of running a county / city and coordinating with neighboring counties and cities for emergency management.
Metrics for evaluating crisis management success.
Cultural adaptability for crisis communications.

It’s an insightful conversation that covers many areas of strategizing crisis preparedness for emergency management. Enjoy!
