Disaster management is the macro version of emergency preparedness! Listen to Ana tell us about how we can better manage ourselves during a disaster, what the “second disaster” is, and the biggest myths surrounding emergency management, one blew my mind. This episode was awesome, and I hope you take away as much as I did!

More on Ana:
Ana has worked in Disaster and Emergency Management for well over a decade. This include working with Canadian Red Cross as a Disaster Response Coordinator during the Slave Lake wildfire in 2011 and the Southern Alberta Floods in 2013. She has also worked with the province with the Alberta Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) designing emergency management exercises and with Alberta Environment and Parks in the environmental emergency response team. Through these experiences she has had the privilege to help Albertans in need during major disasters impacting the province including the wildfire impacting Fort McMurray in 2016, many other wildfires throughout the province, and major floods throughout. I have also worked in the private sector doing consulting for major organizations for the crisis management programs. She currently teaches at NAIT in the Diploma program for Disaster and Emergency Management and also loves working with organizations to ensure they are resilient in the face of adversity. Academically, she has a Master of Arts in Disaster and Emergency Management. In her free time I enjoy running stupidly long distances in rugged trails throughout the province. She is currently training for her second ultra marathon

Self Defense from All Angles S1E13: / Martin Vödisch
Thursday Sep 01, 2022
Thursday Sep 01, 2022
In this episode we cover
- The importance of boundary setting
- The difference between self defense and self protection
- Major commonality in violence
More on Martin.
My name is Martin Vödisch, and I'm a professional self-defense instructor. While teaching how to deal with violence, I incorporate the needs of the individual. Not everybody needs to be (or wants to be) a hardcore fighter. Staying safe is about understanding how violence operates and implementing effective counter-measures: Awareness, communication skills, how to present yourself to the outside world or maybe even some lifestyle choices. Everybody can learn to stay safe.
I started learning Krav Maga 13 years ago and have trained different martial arts and combatives for many years. On this journey, I learned that being a good fighter doesn't necessarily translate to being safe. That made me study violence from every angle. Criminology, biology, social structures, cultural norms, personality styles, self-defense laws and of course the physical application of force all play a role. Violence is a part of human psychology, and it can happen to anybody. We live in a very safe country, but in the moment of danger, the only person really capable of helping you is yourself. I will teach you how to do that.
