Creating Cultures of Preparedness

Why do people not prepare for disasters? How do we create cultures of preparedness? These have long been the questions, and we have consistently chosen the wrong answers. In March of 2019, FEMA issued a scathing report on two decades of its own national preparedness efforts, declaring them nothing short of a miserable failure.

We have to fix these problems through a shift in our mindset. In this session, Steve Eberlein is a professional preparedness speaker who specializes in earthquake preparedness will show you how he convinces people to prepare for disaster events. His presentation will include:

• A short overview of the history and science of Bay Area earthquakes
• An exploration of how the “knowledge myth” has misguided decades of preparedness efforts
• A personal case study in how his behavior leads perfect strangers to change their own
• The role that emotion plays in one’s preparedness conversion
