“We cannot and should not let our community down and go through another wildfire and lose another life. That should be our mission. That should be our goal.” -Brad Sherwood
“Strong recovery comes down to people.” -Pamela Van Halsema
“You called me a second responder, I'd never heard that term before for an artist… It was just pouring out of me, I couldn't keep up with myself. It was like the best problem I've ever had!
Episode Description:
Welcome to the first episode of After the Fire Podcast Take 5 Series, where you get to hear the best of every episode in under 10 minutes!
Disasters happen when we least expect them. And often, we are left with very little time to take action. In these emergency situations, how we respond means the difference between life and death for us and someone else. Every second counts! But sometimes, we tend to panic and let our fear get the best of us. When everything is on the line, how do we maintain our composure? And most importantly, how can we manage to keep calm and lead others out of a disaster while also mourning our loss and healing ourselves? Let’s hear from our guests, Co-Founder of Larkfield Resilience Fund Brad Sherwood, Coffey Strong Board Member Pamela Van Halsema, and second-responder artist Peter Alan.
