“Our community wants to know what's going on. They want to know how to empower themselves. They want to know what they need to change. They have power, you just have to create some infrastructure underneath.” -James Gore
People know their neighbors and they know their neighborhoods. Even a small amount of training can be a huge resource to connect with people.” -Reva Feldman
“What happens when the message arrives at that person is what actually will impact whether someone is able to survive a disaster or not. That's where equity comes into play. The way in which we communicate that message- the medium of delivery, the language that is used in that message- that is where we can actually save a life.” -Belia Ramos
Episode Description:
Disasters can happen anywhere, anytime. In such emergencies, a need for someone to step up and lead the response and recovery efforts arises. And in every case, those efforts are led by leaders and policymakers. But what does it take to be a servant leader during a disaster? What does being on the frontlines teach you about leadership? How do you keep your cool under pressure? How do you maintain momentum when everything seems to be going wrong? And how do you handle communication failures? Listen in as Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore, Malibu’s City Manager Reva Feldman, and Napa District Supervisor Belia Ramos share their insights on leading during a disaster while keeping in mind culture, diversity, and equity when advocating for the public sector.
