Listen in on this conversation with Carrie Speranza, an emergency manager, and a key part of the IAEM Stronger Stories initiative. We talk about the importance of the support of our systems and institutions when it comes to resiliency, how to be prepared for an emergency but not live in fear, and the importance of telling our stories in building resilience.

Learn how the concept of performing to the level of our training or policy, versus the level of our goals matters in emergency response, and why Carrie never stays in a hotel room above the third floor.

Carrie is the director of Emergency Management Solutions at Esri and is vice chair of the FEMA National Advisory Council, where she has served as an Administrator’s appointee since 2019. She is also the 2nd vice president of the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM).
