Ultimately, he recognizes the Expo's potential and looks forward to future improvements. If you're in the field of disaster management or emergency response, this episode offers valuable insights to help you decide if this event is for you.
Also in this episode:
- Some notable speakers mentioned include Forrest Lanning from FEMA, who discussed earthquake-resilient building codes and the Ring of Fire, and Laurie Mazin Azura from the California Office of Emergency Services, who talked about California disasters and wildfires.
- The lack of focus in breakout sessions, distractions in the exhibit hall, and a mix of vendors that weren't always directly related to disaster management.
