Episode 39: What Does Disaster Response Have to do With Flash Mobs?

Founder of the Cajun Navy Foundation in 2016, Rob Gaudet is a senior software developer that has harnessed the power of technology and social media to changed how we respond to disasters by creating what he calls a “flash mob-like” opportunity for groups of people to jump in, make a real difference, and return to their lives. In this week’s podcast, he talks about the issues behind why Lake Charles is still far from recovered from Hurricane Laura, what individuals and businesses can do right now to help, and the massive economic opportunity Louisiana has to become a world leader in disaster response.
