In this episode of DisasterSmiths™, step into the complexworld of emergency management in big cities and urban areas, where every decision carries weight and every incident brings a new set of challenges. Urban emergency managers work under constant pressure, balancing politics,public expectations, and the immense responsibility of keeping millions safe. Their work unfolds in crowded streets, aging infrastructure, and moments when entire systems are strained to their limits.

Our hosts sit down with emergency management leaders who know the reality of city response: the endless coordination, the lessons learned in uncertainty, and the resilience it takes to restore order when disaster strikes.
