In this episode of The Fleet Code, we explore the ramifications of the recent CrowdStrike outage that halted operations across various sectors, from airlines to hospitals. As a fleet, the only way to "prepare" for these events is to have a plan defined and ready to go into action.

The episode covers essential steps for fleet managers, including implementing robust backup systems, maintaining manual reporting processes, and establishing effective communication channels – not to mention the importance of self-care and teamwork during challenging times. Tune in to get actionable steps and expert advice on safeguarding your fleet from future outages.

Takeaways from this episode:

  • Above all else, make sure the environment is safe for your team to operate in
  • Implement and test your data backups to reduce the chance of a long-term impact to your fleet
  • Have a plan in place, as well as resources to help implement the plan, so your team knows exactly what to do
  • Establish communication channels early so that you can keep your team updated on the latest
  • And last, but absolutely not least, make sure you take care of yourself

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
