Last week I was interviewed by the Emergency Management Magazine, a publication widely read by emergency responders nationwide. Based on my research projects on the subject over the past five years I summarized preparedness-related recommendations for the Pacific Northwest.

This marks a 4.9% increase in references from version 14.5 (December of 2018) and a 14.2% increase from version 14.0 (June of 2018). This past publication period has yet been another good one for Digital Government-related publishing adding another 4-digit number (1,461) of new peer-reviewed academic references within the past 12 months.
The DGRL has become an indispensable tool for Digital Government scholars. In particular, reviewers of paper submissions are reported to rely heavily on this reference library.

I had the great pleasure to appear as featured interview guest on the 30-minute Disaster Zone TV show in downtown Seattle. The show is hosted by Eric Holdeman, one of the nation’s most highly reputed experts on disaster response management. Holdeman is a former emergency manager himself who held managerial positions at Federal, State, and County levels. The show is produced by King County TV and watched by professional emergency responders around the nation. The recorded edition of the show will be on the air shortly and can already be watched on YouTube. (Video, 24:55)
