Isaac reviews the recent Disaster Expo California held at the Anaheim Convention Center and shares his first-hand insights into the event, its standout speakers, and unique highlights.

Isaac applauds speakers like Forrest Lanning from FEMA, who discussed earthquake resilience and the Ring of Fire, along with experts focusing on California disasters and local emergency management efforts. While he appreciates the Expo's focus on disaster management, Isaac also highlights some challenges, such as an array of unrelated vendors and distracting breakout sessions within the exhibit hall. 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.
  • They could improve by attracting more prominent speakers, creating specialized tracks for breakout sessions, and offering convenience and attractions for attendees.
