This newsletter is a compilation of recent disaster ~things~ that I think are cool, important, or otherwise of interest to people who are intrigued with disaster (broadly defined).
Love your passion for our shared discipline...however it is important to not only think critically on all facets of EM, but to be intellectually honest and clearly state your own bias when representing the field. Politics will unfortunately always be involved in any government agency - and FEMA is no different. I had no intention of researching Project 2025 until you attributed it to Trump, which he has publicly stated is untrue. Upon my own examination, the book "Project 2025" outlines a conservative strategy to fix amoebic governmental growth and over-reach and the Federal targeting of Americans. It has roughly 30 chapters, each with different authors and is the compilation of Republican Platform recommendations from over 100 conservative groups and think-tanks. Nowhere is there a section authored or written by Donald Trump, not a forward or even the "afterword". Project 2025 was written to provide guidance to whomever wins the election, and states clearly: "Project 2025 is not partisan, nor is it secret. Project 2025 does not speak for any candidate or campaign, in any capacity".
I am not afraid of divergent opinions. It's just that my intellectual curiosity requires that I research before stating my own. I respect your desire to elevate our field. And I prefer building bridges over walls. So regardless of our differences, I will be your champion wherever I can. #EMRocks #EMfluencer

Oh gosh, this probably is not going to be the newsletter for you!
