93_HazAdapt: Making Emergency Preparedness Easier

Emergency preparedness has a problem.Not because people do not care.Not because they are lazy.Not because they are ignoring risk on purpose.For many people, preparedness has become overwhelming.Wildfires. Floods. Extreme weather. Mass shootings. Infrastructure failures. Disease outbreaks. Alerts keep coming, but most people are still trying to figure out where to start.In this documentary-style episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, Jason Perez and Jason “Pappy” Martin explore that challenge through a conversation with Ginny from HazAdapt.HazAdapt is designed to make emergency and disaster preparedness more approachable, more usable, and more human-centered. Instead of assuming everyone is already prepared, HazAdapt meets people where they are — often at what Ginny describes as a “just-in-time preparedness level.”This episode explores:• Why “all-hazards preparedness” can overwhelm the public• Why people often default to Google, Facebook, or social media during emergencies• How stress affects decision-making during a crisis• Why emergency guidance needs to be easy to understand under pressure• How HazAdapt acts like a “hazard helper” in your hand• Real-world stories where simple guidance helped people make better emergency decisions• Why preparedness is not just about information — it is about human behavior, trust, and interaction• How communities can make preparedness more social, practical, and empoweringPreparedness should not make people feel afraid.It should make people feel capable.Learn more about HazAdapt:HazAdapt.comFeatured Guest / Resource:HazAdapt Safety AppHazAdapt.comAvailable through the web, App Store, and Google Play.🔗 Sponsors & Partners🩸 STOP THE BLEED® CoalitionUncontrolled bleeding is a leading cause of preventable death after injury.
