In this episode, I speak to the Director of Emergency Management at UNC Charlotte about a wide variety of topics including one of the most important: planning. 

Chris dives into what it is like being the Emergency Managment Director at a large higher education establishment on the east coast and some of the challenges there in. 

We talk about the benefits of collaboration between entities both on and off campus and how they were tested during one of the most tragic events to ever occur on their campus: an active shooter with confirmed victims. 

Thank you to Chris and the UNC Charlotte team for all their continued efforts towards readiness and ensuring the safety of the campus and the surrounding community.  

What the listeners should do "tomorrow": preparedness starts on the individual level. Take responsibility for your personal preparedness (listen to the last 10 min to learn more)
