Get some clarity on what's happening with COVID, Vaccines, Boosters, the impacts the pandemic is having on the young, and the Omicron variant (as of recording on Dec 8/21). It's my regular talk with industry expert and a former nurse, Regina Phelps. For this episode we talk about: a) Where we are right now (US, Canada, Europe...) b) What we know - and don't know - about the Omicron variant c) Understanding boosters d) The impact of vaccines on the young e) Understanding how COVID is harming the young...the ARE getting sick from COVID. f) Myths and misinformation. A very informative talk you don't want to miss.
Preparing for the Unexpected is about how people, organizations and communities plan, prepare, test, communicate and respond to sudden unplanned events such as natural and manmade disasters and crises. The show is for everyone who wants an understanding of how plans are created for individuals, organizations and communities and for anyone who wants to know what they can do in their own lives to help protect themselves from unexpected events. There is a myth that disasters happen to others but in reality, they happen to everyone. It's just a matter of when and how well-prepared you are. The greater the level of awareness, communication and knowledge, the quicker one bounces back from adversity. The overall aim of Preparing for the Unexpected is to reduce the suffering, effects and impacts caused as a result of disasters and unexpected life events by increasing knowledge and awareness of Operational Resilience, Business Contingency, Disaster Planning, Crisis Management, and related activities.
