Special Episode: Youth Preparedness with Sam Johnson

Crisis. Conflict. Emergency Management Podcast

Join us for global perspectives and conversations about international crisis, preparedness, and how to build more resilient societies in a challenging and ever-changing world. As the world moves to reduce the risk of global threats, we need to recognize the vulnerabilities, connectivity, and perspectives that drive instability. Join us for international conversations addressing key challenges and risks that undermine our efforts to build more resilient societies.

This podcast is brought to you by Capacity Building International (CBI) and sponsored by The International Emergency Management Society (TIEMS).

In our next episode, we are joined by Sam Johnson. Sam is the Program Lead for Youth Preparedness for National Headquarters at the American Red Cross. She manages two emergency and disaster preparedness education programs, Prepare with Pedro (Kindergarten – 2nd grade) and The Pillowcase Project (3rd-5th grade) that have reached over 1.4 million students across the continental US and on military bases abroad. She began her career as an AmeriCorps member with the American Red Cross of Alaska and supported long term recovery efforts in the US Virgin Islands after Hurricanes Irma and Maria. She has a Master of Science from Tulane University in Disaster Resilience Leadership.
