I really enjoyed presenting at @Northeastern in Boston last week. My topic focused on crowd management, crisis communication and victim support, and we had an interesting discussion afterwards. Thanks to professor @DanielPAldrich for hosting.
Thanks to @EMPA_Conference for a great first day at the Australia’s Disaster & Emergency Communications Conference in Brisbane. I enjoyed being a keynote speaker, and the day’s presentations were all interesting. Topics included social capital, teams’ mental health and floods.
In exactly a week, I will give a keynote presentation at the @EMPA_Conference in Brisbane. Looking forward to sharing knowledge and meeting great people from all over the world. I will also run a 3 hours' workshop on the aftermath of disasters. More info: empaaust.empa.org.au/

Yesterday, the @NSMassCasualty released its final report on the mass shooting in Nova Scotia in 2020. It consists of 7 volumes of reports. I was really impressed that its Executive Summary starts with 34 pages that commemmorates the victims. More info: masscasualtycommission.ca/fi…
