Learning from New Zealand's Disaster Experiences

Today while working outside in the rain…I was listening to this Disaster Tough: Emergency Manager & City Councilmember Brenden Winder | Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand  In that podcast episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast they explore that concept in Emergency Management and Response as we hear from Brenden Winder from New Zealand. Brenden is a City Councilmember and Emergency Management leader based in Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand. He brings two decades of experience to Emergency Management and leadership, specializing in earthquake readiness and response. However, his expertise extends beyond earthquakes and disasters common to New Zealand.

Serendipitously, I had previously had Brent/Brenden on the Disaster Zone Podcast: Post Earthquake: Managing the Situation in Christchurch NZ back in August of this year. In that conversation we talked much more about managing the recovery from their big earthquake.

John Scardena had mentioned that he could do an entire series of podcasts with Brent. So now, The Readiness Lab has two in their library. You can see all the other podcasts in the library here
