Disaster Zonepodcast: “Emergency Management at the 3rd Busiest Airport in the World.”Los Angeles World Airports, which includes LAX, is the third busiest airport in the world by passenger volume. In this podcast I interview Justin Pierce, who is the emergency management director there. We talk about the challenges and opportunities he faces with such a large enterprise system. Besides going into the details of his emergency management program, we also discuss the future of the emergency management profession to include Next-Gen emergency managers.
Eric Holdeman is a nationally known emergency manager. He has worked in emergency management at the federal, state and local government levels. Today he serves as the Director, Center for Regional Disaster Resilience (CRDR), which is part of the Pacific Northwest Economic Region (PNWER). The focus for his work there is engaging the public and private sectors to work collaboratively on issues of common interest, regionally and cross jurisdictionally.
