Juliette Kayyem's Strategies for Personal Preparedness in an Age of Disasters

Passing Judgment

In our latest episode of Passing Judgment, we had the pleasure of hosting Juliette Kayyem, a prominent figure in the fields of homeland security and crisis management. With an extensive background, Juliette brought a wealth of insights about current world events with a focus on the situation in Israel and the implications for disaster management and preparedness.

Here are 3 key takeaways from the episode:

1️⃣ Family Unification: In a crisis, prioritize locating your loved ones and ensuring their safety. Educate your children on what to do in an emergency to prepare them for unexpected situations.

2️⃣ Situational Awareness: Stay informed about real-time developments through various sources, such as apps and social media. Being aware of what's happening around you can help you make informed decisions during a crisis.

3️⃣ Personal Preparedness: Take steps to ensure you have the necessary provisions, such as water, food, and medications, to sustain yourself and your family for up to 72 hours. Being self-sufficient in the immediate aftermath of a disaster can bring peace of mind and reduce the strain on public safety resources.
