How to Transition from Rescue to Recovery from Hurricane Helene | S2 EP05

I’m Kevin Pannell, Host of the Hope is NOT a Plan podcast. I am an IT Healthcare Project Management Office leader with a background in Public Safety, Special Event planning, and Incident Management and disaster response. In this episode, Hurricane Helene SITREP as of 06OCT2024, I'm providing a numerical snapshot of the impact of Hurricane Helene, the importance of shifting operations and mindset from rescue to recovery mode, and three opportunities for improvement I've observed from afar as a former Planning Section Chief on an All-Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT).How you can help:General GuidanceContact the State Emergency Management agencyCash is kingShelf stable foodWaterVolunteerState Emergency Management ContactsNorth Carolina: https://www.ncdps.gov/how-to-donateSouth Carolina: https://www.scemd.org/news/hurricane-helene-cleanup-in-south-carolina/ Georgia: https://gema.georgia.gov/hurricane-helene Florida: https://www.floridadisaster.org/disaster-updates/storm-updates/ Tennessee: https://www.tn.gov/tema/updates/hurricane-helene.html Virginia: https://www.vaemergency.gov/recover/hurricane-helene Thank you to all those that stepped up and stepped into harm's way to help their fellow Americans.
