Brad and Kiera share the stories behind people who survived because someone stepped forward—first responders, bystanders, family members, and ordinary people who chose to act in the moment. But the episode is really about what came after: 25 more years, 27 more years, daughters walked down the aisle, grandchildren raised, goodbyes made possible, and futures that continued because someone did not stand back.

This conversation explores: 
• Why bystander action matters before EMS arrives 
• What CPR can feel like in a real emergency 
• Why training helps people act through fear 
• The emotional weight emergency responders carry 
• Why saved lives create ripple effects across families and communities 
• Practical steps you can take before seconds matter

In this episode of DisasterClass, Jason Perez and Jason “Pappy” Martin speak with David Tobias, Chief Product Officer at Nearmap, about how high-resolution aerial imagery, property intelligence, and artificial intelligence can support emergency preparedness, disaster response, and recovery.

David explains why the first 72 hours matter, how outdated information can create outdated assumptions, and why technology only becomes operational when organizations have the people, access, authority, workflows, and training needed to act under pressure.

The conversation explores how aerial intelligence can help emergency leaders determine what changed, identify where damage is concentrated, evaluate access routes, prioritize limited resources, and establish a clearer operating picture following an incident.

The episode also examines organizational data silos, explainable artificial intelligence, human judgment, realistic exercises, and why emergency capabilities must be established before the disaster begins.

IN THIS EPISODE
• The three questions that drive disaster resource allocation
• Why current aerial imagery matters before and after an incident
• How development and infrastructure changes alter community risk
• Flood maps, changing conditions, and false certainty
• Post-disaster damage assessment following the Palisades fire
• Organizational silos and the shared operating picture
• Explainable AI and the “glass box”
• Why AI should support—not replace—human judgment
• Why realistic exercises create operational muscle memory
• Why preparedness must happen before the pressure

HOW READY IS YOUR ORGANIZATION?
Emergency readiness is not simply having a plan, technology platform, or policy on paper.

Readiness depends on whether people understand their roles, information can move across departments, leaders have the authority to act, and systems have been tested before an emergency occurs.

The Instinct Ready Organizational Readiness Snapshot helps organizations identify gaps, priorities, and practical next steps across emergency planning, training, communication, coordination, decision-making, and emergency-management capability.

Jim has spent roughly 40 years involved in preparedness, survival, self-reliance, and disaster readiness. He has written numerous books and hundreds of articles, and he brings a grounded, practical perspective to a topic that is often overwhelmed by fear, gear, and online misinformation.

This conversation focuses on real-world preparedness: what has changed over the last four decades, what has stayed the same, and what families can actually do to become more capable before disruption happens.

Jason, Pappy, and Jim discuss financial preparedness, water storage, evacuation planning, beginner mistakes, social media myths, fantasy bug-out plans, community support, OPSEC, soft skills, communication, physical capability, and why small practical actions matter more than endless planning.

This is not a fear-based prepping episode. It is a practical conversation about readiness, resilience, and common-sense self-reliance.

Not because they are lazy.
Not because they are ignoring risk on purpose.

For many people, preparedness has become overwhelming.

Wildfires. Floods. Extreme weather. Mass shootings. Infrastructure failures. Disease outbreaks. Alerts keep coming, but most people are still trying to figure out where to start.

In this documentary-style episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, Jason Perez and Jason “Pappy” Martin explore that challenge through a conversation with Ginny from HazAdapt.
HazAdapt is designed to make emergency and disaster preparedness more approachable, more usable, and more human-centered. Instead of assuming everyone is already prepared, HazAdapt meets people where they are — often at what Ginny describes as a “just-in-time preparedness level.”

This episode explores:
• Why “all-hazards preparedness” can overwhelm the public
• Why people often default to Google, Facebook, or social media during emergencies
• How stress affects decision-making during a crisis
• Why emergency guidance needs to be easy to understand under pressure
• How HazAdapt acts like a “hazard helper” in your hand
• Real-world stories where simple guidance helped people make better emergency decisions
• Why preparedness is not just about information — it is about human behavior, trust, and interaction
• How communities can make preparedness more social, practical, and empowering

Preparedness should not make people feel afraid.
It should make people feel capable.

In this special May 4th episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, we break down Star Wars as a case study in emergency management, risk mindset, and real-world preparedness.

From the Death Star’s catastrophic design flaw to the Rebel Alliance’s ability to operate under extreme constraints, every major moment in Star Wars reveals critical lessons about how people and organizations succeed—or fail—under pressure.

More importantly, we answer the question most people never ask: What does this mean for you?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How overconfidence creates hidden risk
Why adaptability matters more than perfect planning
What continuity failure actually looks like
How to prepare with limited resources
Why your environment defines your risk
How to build a real-world risk mindset

And we break it down at three levels:

Family / Individual
Organization / Business
Community / Municipal

Whether you're preparing your household, leading a team, or working in emergency management, these are lessons you can apply immediately.

They had time to leave.
And they stayed anyway.

In this episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, we break down one of the most dangerous patterns in emergency response: why people ignore warnings—even when the risk is real.

From wildfires to hurricanes, tornadoes to floods, history shows that delayed decisions cost lives. But this isn’t about ignorance—it’s about human behavior.

We explore real-world disasters like the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, California, where delayed evacuation led to devastating consequences. Then we break down the psychology behind it, including normalcy bias, confirmation seeking, and real-world barriers that prevent people from taking action.

Most importantly, we show you how to overcome these biases and make faster, better decisions when it matters most. Because warnings don’t save lives—decisions do. 🎯 What

In this solo episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, Pappy explores a hard truth about emergencies: you do not rise to the occasion—you fall back on your training.

When stress hits, good intentions are not enough. In those first critical moments, people often freeze, hesitate, or wait for someone else to act.

That is why training matters. It builds competence, confidence, and the ability to respond when every second counts.

In this episode, Pappy breaks down why people freeze, how training changes outcomes, and why preparedness is not just about knowledge—it is about action. If you have ever told yourself you should probably learn CPR, first aid, or emergency response skills “someday,” this episode is your reminder that someday should probably be sooner.

In many communities, EMS arrival can take 10 minutes or more.

So what exists in that gap?

In this episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, we sit down with firefighter-paramedic and AED Empire co-founder Dustin Talacko to discuss the dangerous space between emergency and response — and why access to life-saving equipment can determine whether someone survives.

Drawing from thousands of emergency calls, Dustin explains why preparedness is not about panic, but infrastructure. We explore why organizations delay purchasing AEDs, how decision paralysis affects safety planning, and why survival should never depend on luck, location, or privilege.

Dustin also shares the story behind AED Empire, a company built to simplify access to automated external defibrillators and bleeding control solutions so organizations can move from good intentions to real preparedness.

If you are responsible for the safety of others — in a workplace, school, gym, church, or public venue — this conversation will change how you think about readiness.

What You'll Learn
• The critical first minutes of cardiac arrest
• The gap between collapse and EMS arrival
• Why many organizations delay implementing AED programs
• How simplifying preparedness improves real-world outcomes
• Why access to equipment reduces responder stress
• The role of bleeding control in modern safety planning

About Dustin Talacko
Dustin Talacko is a firefighter-paramedic and co-founder of AED Empire, a national life-saving equipment platform focused on improving access to AEDs and bleeding control resources. His work sits at the intersection of public safety, workplace readiness, and responder mental health.

Very few think about embassy locations.
Very few think about hospital systems.
And almost no one thinks about what they would do if they were told to shelter in place in a country that isn’t theirs.

Recently, tourists in parts of Mexico were advised to remain inside their hotels due to instability. Flights were delayed. Movement was restricted. Information was fragmented.

But this type of disruption isn’t isolated to one country.

Across the world — including regions like the Middle East and Iran — travelers have faced sudden airspace closures, government advisories, unrest, and rapidly changing conditions that left tourists relying on embassies and emergency planning instead of itineraries.

That’s not a political conversation.
That’s a preparedness conversation.

In this roundtable discussion, Jason Perez, Pappy, and Anthony Escoto from Disaster Operations Group break down what smart travelers do differently before they leave the country.

We discuss:
• How the U.S. STEP Program actually works
• What embassies can — and cannot — do for you
• Documentation redundancy and passport planning
• Financial and logistical buffers for travel disruptions
• A real experience calling an ambulance overseas
• Travel medical and evacuation considerations
• Shelter-in-place vs evacuation decision-making
• Traveling internationally as a father responsible for a family
• Leadership and psychological preparedness abroad

If you travel internationally — for business, vacation, or mission work — this episode will change how you think about preparedness.

In Part 2, we go deeper.

This episode explores what changes when risk becomes visible — not as a checklist, not as a warning, but as something that can actually be understood, measured, and acted on before disaster strikes.

As insurance companies, real estate markets, and governments increasingly price risk into everyday life, homeowners and communities are often left reacting to decisions already made without them.

So what does visibility really mean? And why does it change recovery outcomes?

In this documentary-style episode, DisasterClass hosts Jason Perez and Jason “Pappy” Martin continue their conversation with Ben Gilliland, founder of Future Proof Property Intelligence, to examine:
• Why risk is already visible to insurers — but not to homeowners
• How small, hidden failure points lead to catastrophic loss
• Why preparedness often stops at survival instead of recovery
• What it means to understand how things actually fail
• How visibility shifts decisions, priorities, and outcomes
• Why recovery is becoming harder even after “smaller” disasters

This episode is not about fear or forecasting. It’s about agency — and what becomes possible when people can finally see the risks shaping their future.

🎧 This is Part 2 of a two-part documentary series. If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, start there to understand why preparedness alone is no longer enough. ⸻

They build emergency kits.
They follow alerts.
They evacuate when ordered.

And still — they lose everything.

Not during the disaster.
After it.

In Part 1 of this documentary-style episode, DisasterClass examines a hard truth most preparedness conversations avoid: survival is not the same as recovery.

Homes may survive storms but become unlivable. Insurance claims may be approved but still fall short. Families may do “everything right” and still never fully recover.

To understand why preparedness is failing — and why that failure is accelerating — hosts Jason Perez and Jason “Pappy” Martin speak with Ben Gilliland, a technologist and disaster-resilience expert whose work focuses on what determines whether recovery is even possible after first responders leave.

This episode does not offer quick tips or checklists.

Instead, it asks a deeper question:
Is the way we define preparedness still working?

They build emergency kits.
They follow alerts.
They evacuate when ordered.

And still — they lose everything.

Not during the disaster.
After it.

In Part 1 of this documentary-style episode, DisasterClass examines a hard truth most preparedness conversations avoid: survival is not the same as recovery.

Homes may survive storms but become unlivable. Insurance claims may be approved but still fall short. Families may do “everything right” and still never fully recover.

To understand why preparedness is failing — and why that failure is accelerating — hosts Jason Perez and Jason “Pappy” Martin speak with Ben Gilliland, a technologist and disaster-resilience expert whose work focuses on what determines whether recovery is even possible after first responders leave.

This episode does not offer quick tips or checklists.

Instead, it asks a deeper question:
Is the way we define preparedness still working?

🎧 This is Part 1 of a two-part documentary series.
Part 2 explores how risk becomes visible — and what changes when people can finally see it. ⸻

In this episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, Jason Perez and Pappy break down emergency preparedness for kids by age, using real-world case studies, child development science, and practical experience to show what children are truly capable of when they’ve been prepared calmly and intentionally.

This isn’t about scaring kids — it’s about building familiarity, confidence, and capability.

We cover:
• What toddlers can realistically do in an emergency
• How young children recognize danger and ask for help
• Why pre-teens often outperform adults when they have clear procedures
• How teens step into leadership roles during real emergencies
• Why preparedness reduces panic — and fear-based messaging doesn’t work

Throughout the episode, we share real-life examples of children who saved lives, evacuated safely, or made critical decisions during:
• Medical emergencies
• Fires
• Natural disasters
• Violent incidents

These stories prove one core truth:
Children are not liabilities in emergencies.
Unprepared children are.

⸻

🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode
• How cognitive development affects emergency response at different ages
• Why repetition and normalization matter more than one-time instruction
• How to assign age-appropriate responsibilities without overwhelming kids
• What parents, schools, and child-focused organizations should stop doing
• How to build preparedness without creating anxiety

When people think about preparedness, they often focus on hazards: storms, outages, emergencies. But real-world outcomes aren’t determined by the event itself — they’re shaped by how that event disrupts essential systems and how those disruptions interact with household vulnerabilities.

In this episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, we break down what risk actually means and why the same emergency can affect households very differently. Using a simple, practical framework — Risk = Hazard × Vulnerability × Impact — we explore how power, communications, healthcare, income, and other essential community systems quietly support daily life, and how disruptions to those systems drive real consequences.

This episode is designed as a mini masterclass to help you:

Understand why disasters don’t impact everyone the same way
See preparedness beyond gear, supplies, or checklists
Recognize how essential systems shape risk
Identify household vulnerabilities without fear or panic
Make better decisions before stress takes over

Understand why disasters don’t impact everyone the same way
See preparedness beyond gear, supplies, or checklists
Recognize how essential systems shape risk
Identify household vulnerabilities without fear or panic
Make better decisions before stress takes over

We also walk through three simple questions you can ask tonight to better understand your household risk — no shopping, no downloads, just awareness.

Preparedness starts with understanding how your life actually works. That’s where real resilience begins.

With Anthony’s real-world disaster response expertise, we break down each scene of the fictional drill, highlighting what’s surprisingly accurate, what’s wildly unrealistic, and the valuable lessons that emergency managers, public safety professionals, and even city officials can take away.We also spotlight Haz Assist—the powerful tool from Disaster Operations Group—designed to help you assess risk and create plans.

From last-minute scenario reveals to communication breakdowns, political sabotage, and Leslie’s decision to “destroy the entire town” in the simulation, we uncover how this comedy episode is a goldmine for talking about incident command, exercise planning, and after-action reviews.Whether you’re a Parks and Rec fan, an emergency management professional, or just curious about how drills really work, you’ll walk away knowing why Pawnee’s approach would fail—and how real-world agencies like Disaster Operations Group do it right.

Whether you're a parent, educator, emergency manager, or community member, this conversation is packed with essential insights to help you stay informed and prepared.

In This Episode:\
✅ What Connecticut’s new Bleeding Control Law (Public Act 25-160) actually requires
✅ Which buildings and organizations must comply by July 1, 2026
✅ How this law compares to bleeding control requirements in Texas, Indiana, New Jersey, and beyond
✅ Why uncontrolled bleeding is a leading cause of preventable death
✅ How preparedness saves lives — and how you can get ahead of the curve
✅ What organizations in any state can learn from Connecticut’s approach

Why This Matters:
Uncontrolled bleeding can turn deadly in minutes. Having the right equipment — and the training to use it — can mean the difference between life and death. Connecticut’s new law is a major step forward for public safety and community resilience, and it’s a sign of what’s to come nationwide.

Want to Get Prepared?
At Instinct Ready, we help organizations, schools, and communities get equipped with life-saving bleeding control kits, training, and emergency planning — without the stress and confusion.

What if gaming could save lives? 🎲
🚨 In this episode of DisasterClass, Wesley Long and Jason "Pappy" Martin sit down with Arthur Simental, a career emergency manager, to explore how wargaming is transforming the way we train for disasters.

✅ The history of wargaming and how it shaped military strategy
✅ How disaster wargaming can help emergency managers & first responders
✅ How families can use this game to prepare for unexpected crises
