Thinking ahead, talking through difficult situations, understanding you don't have all the answers, and working well with those who do, are all attributes of high-functioning emergency managers and response professionals.
As a former paramedic, and current Director of Emergency Management in Larimer County, Colorado, Lori Hodges knows this well.
In this episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, Lori talks about her experience dealing with cascading impacts, transitioning between crisis mode and routine mode, and consequence management.
Lori is also an author whose book, Shaking In The Forest: Finding Light in the Darkness, explains how to deal with the trauma that is certain to come when dealing with major emergencies.
