A Non-Apocalyptic Intro to Personal Emergency Preparedness with Jeff Donaldson, PhD
#034 - In this next episode, I was joined by Jeff Donaldson, PhD to kick off a new topic we haven't discussed on the podcast yet — emergency preparedness. This episode starts with a look at the topic from a micro perspective, personal preparedness, and future episodes will touch on the macro, such as corporate or public-level preparedness and resiliency.
Jeff brings a tremendous amount of experience directly relating to preparedness to the podcast today, from his experience as a military officer in the Canadian Army (28 years!), as the principal researcher at Preparedness Labs Incorporated, and as an Associate Faculty member at Royal Roads University. Plus, he's earned his MA in Disaster and Emergency Management, along with his doctorate in Public Policy. All that to say, he's a wealth of knowledge for us on the subject.
He even hosts a highly acclaimed podcast on preparedness and leads training sessions where he communicates (as he says), "Non-Apocalyptic evidence-based strategies for rational people with dreams."
Today's conversation focused on the philosophy of preparedness, the critical role of social capital and how it increases your ability to survive and thrive, personal responsibility, and systematic thinking/planning/considerations for you and I.
