Prevention Before the Bang

In this episode, Kelly and Ethan kick off a four-part series on the phases of emergency management: prevention, preparation, response, and recovery. They unpack why prevention and mitigation are more than just buzzwords, how failure points shape every safety plan, and what it really means to move “left of bang.” From bullying and threat assessments to overlooked hazards and pre-event thresholds, this conversation reveals why true safety starts long before the sirens.
