Interview With Rising star: Shontieka Adeogun Linda Crerar: What initially drew you to Homeland Security Emergency Management? Shontieka Adeogun: I thought at first that I wanted to be a nurse. My grandma, a nurse, raised me, and I initially thought that I wanted to be a nurse to honor her because she was my mom. But, unfortunately, she just passed away recently. And when I was doing my clinical, I was, you know, I thought to myself, this probably really isn’t my calling—one-to-one patient care.

Holiday Message from COE -HSEM Co-Chair Curry Mayer Moving into the second holiday season of a global pandemic and another New Year where there is a good deal of uncertainty, is no doubt not where we thought we would be this year. There are many things this past year that have given us much to still be concerned about for 2022, however, I feel there is also a lot that provides reasons to be hopeful. And at the risk of sounding Polly Anna, let me explain. Throughout 2021, we have seen and felt and understood like never before the power [...]

A Perverse Meritocracy By Jim Mullen Emergency Management, Once Removed A tsunami warning for the West Coast of the United States following the 2011 Sendai earthquake presented a challenge in public messaging about the safety of our citizens because of false projections that toxic materials were en route to our coast.

My boss, the Adjutant General, took it to the Governor. He reported back that “EMD will [...]

Falling Backwards: How to Cope with Less Daylight

Jasmine May2021-11-24T22:48:57+00:00

Falling Backwards: How to Cope with Less Daylight By Kellie Hale On the first Sunday of November, most Americans had their clocks turn back and gain an hour. Some people enjoy having an extra hour. However, I am not someone who does. I wouldn’t say I like losing that extra hour of daylight. I’m not a fan of the sun setting at 4:30 p.m. and having to drive home in the dark. We don’t get the necessary Vitamin D with the lack of sunlight, which brings on the seasonal affective disorder (SAD). What is SAD? According to the Mayo Clinic, [...]

Interdependencies – November 2021

Jasmine May2021-11-09T21:14:53+00:00

Interdependencies by Jim Mullen Emergency Management, Once Removed The 1950’s health crisis was a crippling and killer disease, polio, that parents feared every time their children complained of headaches, tiredness, stomach pain, etc. Once developed, polio vaccines were quickly embraced, administered in schools; that health crisis was abated. We depended on and trusted medical science to free us from polio. In that same era, Cold War science fiction movie scriptwriters - largely to avoid “Red Scare” condemnation promoted by conspiracy theorists of that day - created “otherworldly” threats, requiring that the nations of the world unite to “save the planet” [...]
