Alternate Risks

In general the Emergency Action Planning (EAP) workshop is intended to focus on threats posed by Natural, Manmade, Civil, and National Security events.

Throughout the course of the workshop we are identifying the risks involved with each subsection of our plan (Evacuation, Feeding, Gathering water, Shelter, etc.) finding ways to mitigate those risks, and reviewing those risks over time to determine if they need modifying.

This process will eventually develop within us a risk awareness capability that allows us to identify alternate risks that are not necessarily focused on Disaster/Emergency preparedness that need to be mitigated anyway.

Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing. - Warren Buffett

During my daily commutes to and from work, and pretty much anytime I’m driving, I listen to my IPod. I call it my Juke Box for the car. The material I usually listen to can be described as educational/self-development Podcasts.

A recent Podcast I listened too is titled Future Crimes: Cyber Crime and How to Protect Yourself. The guest speaker is Marc Goodman and the Podcast is titled Art of Charm hosted by AJ and Jordan Harbinger. I’ll preface this by saying that the Podcast originally started as a how too dating venue that over the years has morphed into a positive self-development venue listened to by men and women seeking workable life hacks. (My definition)

Being the self-proclaimed basic Emergency Action Planning subject matter expert (SME) I would be remiss for not passing along information that may be of value to you. I recommend that you give it a listen, it’s about an hour long. Has some very interesting and valuable information. FYI I am not affiliated with AOC and do not receive any monetary or material compensation from sharing their material. A Like on my Facebook page would be nice though.

Till next time
