In this community-driven episode of DisasterSmiths™, we dive into the world of rural emergency management, where challenges are big, resources are few, and resilience runs deep. Rural leaders face unique challenges, yet they rise to them with creativity, grit, and the unwavering support of their neighbors. From navigating limited budgets and widespread populations to relying on the power of trust, volunteers, and strong relationships, rural emergency managers are redefining what it means to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.
Join us as we uncover the ingenuity, collaboration, and community spirit that keep rural America ready when disaster strikes.
