The Emergency Management Network Podcast

Show Notes: Socrates in the EOC

Episode Summary:In this episode of The Emergency Management Network, hosts Todd DeVoe and Dan Scott explore Socrates's timeless philosophy and how his method of inquiry, humility, and pursuit of wisdom apply to today’s emergency operations centers (EOCs). Through the Socratic lens, we examine leadership under pressure, decision-making amidst uncertainty, and the value of questioning assumptions in complex incident management.

Socrates taught that wisdom begins with recognizing ignorance — a deeply rooted principle in emergency management, where the unknown is ever-present. In this episode, Todd discusses how the “Socratic Method” can be used as a leadership tool to build trust, strengthen collaboration, and uncover blind spots in EOC decision-making.

From ancient Athens to modern-day crisis coordination, Socrates in the EOC challenges us to think critically, communicate honestly, and lead with humility.

Host: Todd T. DeVoe, CEM and Dan Scott, CEMProduced by: EMN MediaDuration: ~30 minutes

Topics Covered:

* What Socrates can teach modern leaders about uncertainty and truth.

* Applying the Socratic Method to EOC decision-making and briefings.

* The importance of intellectual humility in leadership.

* Why “I don’t know” is a strength, not a weakness.

* Encouraging curiosity and dissent as tools for better outcomes.

* Lessons for building resilient teams that think, not just react.

Quotable Moment:

“Socrates wasn’t afraid of being wrong — he was afraid of being unexamined. In the EOC, that mindset can mean the difference between rigidity and resilience.”

Socrates in the EOC

This podcast episode delineates the current meteorological conditions across the United States as of October 27, 2025, with particular emphasis on localized hazards rather than widespread severe weather threats. The discussion highlights various weather advisories, including winter storm warnings for the Greater Yellowstone region, where hazardous travel conditions are anticipated due to snow accumulation. Additionally, listeners are informed of elevated fire weather risks in southern Colorado, alongside gale conditions affecting mariners in Washington waters and a high surf advisory for California’s central coast. The episode further notes the continuation of frost and freeze advisories in New England and alerts regarding rip currents along Florida’s Atlantic beaches. As we navigate these diverse weather phenomena, we underscore the importance of remaining vigilant and adhering to local advisories for public safety.

Takeaways:

* The Storm Prediction Center has indicated that there is no severe thunderstorm risk across the United States today, focusing attention on localized hazards instead.

* In the Greater Yellowstone region, winter storm warnings remain in effect due to expected snowfall and potentially hazardous travel conditions until this evening.

* A high surf advisory has been issued for California’s central coast, warning of dangerous waves and strong rip currents that could pose a significant risk.

* Frost and freeze warnings are active across various areas of New England, indicating the likelihood of cold weather impacts on local conditions and activities.

* Florida’s Atlantic beaches are experiencing a high risk of rip currents, necessitating caution for beachgoers and mariners in the region.

* The National Hurricane Center is currently monitoring Tropical Storm Sonia in the Eastern Pacific, although no significant U.S. impacts are anticipated at this time.

EM Morning Brief: Thursday October 23rd, 2025

In this episode, Todd DeVoe and Dan Scott explore the evolving balance of power between federal, state, and local governments in emergency management. Drawing from Todd’s doctoral research and professional experience, they unpack how “picket fence federalism” may actually find its most authentic expression in disaster management. From FEMA’s shifting role to the tension between autonomy and centralization, this conversation dives deep into what federalism means for practitioners on the ground… and what happens when the fence starts to shake.

Show Notes

Federalism has always been a delicate balance, a system designed to distribute power, but often pulled toward centralization in crisis. Emergency management sits right in the middle of that tension. Todd and Dan discuss how major disasters begin as local emergencies but inevitably become national spectacles, the role of subsidiarity in maintaining local agency, and why FEMA’s future may depend on its ability to act as a convener of partnerships rather than just a participant of last resort.

Topics covered include:

* How disasters expose the strengths and weaknesses of American federalism

* The philosophy behind picket fence federalism and its application to EM

* The evolution of FEMA from a relief bureau to a convener of capability

* Ethical federalism, subsidiarity, and the importance of proximity in governance

* How local innovation drives national doctrine

* Lessons from the Trump-era proposals to restructure FEMA

* The moral responsibility of emergency managers to protect the integrity of shared governance

Key takeaway:Emergency management may be America’s best living model of federalism today — not because it is perfect, but because it is cooperative, adaptive, and rooted in trust.

EM Morning Brief - October 14, 2025

Why do we freeze when we should act? Why do organizations wait for the crisis to end before changing? In this episode, Todd DeVoe and Brian Colburn unpack the psychological trap of normalcy bias and its close cousin, complacency — the silent killers that erode readiness long before disaster strikes.

Drawing from behavioral science, real-world emergency management experience, and leadership philosophy, they explore how our brains resist change, why “business as usual” is so seductive, and how leaders can build cultures that recognize danger without panic and adapt without hesitation.

From the OODA and POP-DOC loops to the quiet moments before chaos hits, Todd and Dan challenge emergency managers to confront the most dangerous phrase in the field: “It’s fine — we’ve always done it this way.”

Show Notes:

Hosts: Todd T. DeVoe & Brian ColburnProduced by: The Emergency Management NetworkEpisode Length: ~45 minutesKey Themes Covered:

* Understanding Normalcy Bias: Why our minds reject disruptive information and how that plays out in disasters.

* Complacency as Organizational Decay: How routine and comfort create blind spots that make us brittle, not resilient.

* Lessons from the Field: Real-world examples where complacency cost time, trust, and sometimes lives.

* Cognitive Loops for Leaders: How frameworks like OODA and POP-DOC help break the freeze-response and restore situational awareness.

* The Moral Imperative of Readiness: Why awareness isn’t paranoia — it’s professionalism.

* Cultural Antidotes: Creating workplaces where curiosity and adaptation are rewarded more than compliance and comfort.

Referenced Concepts & Thinkers: John Boyd’s OODA Loop, Eric McNulty and the NPLI POP-DOC model, Daniel Kahneman’s cognitive biases, and Stoic and Taoist perspectives on awareness and control.

Normalcy Bias and Complacency

Show Notes — Not the Critic Who Counts, But the Leader Who DaresHosted by Todd DeVoe and Dan Scott

In this powerful episode, Todd and Dan dive deep into one of the most timeless lessons on leadership, courage, and purpose — inspired by Theodore Roosevelt’s legendary “Man in the Arena” speech. Together, they unpack what it means to truly dare greatly in the face of criticism, fear, and uncertainty.

This is not a conversation about perfection — it’s about presence.It’s about showing up when others hesitate, leading when the path isn’t clear, and owning both the victories and the scars that come with meaningful work.

Todd and Dan reflect on:

* The difference between critics and creators, and why leaders must embrace vulnerability to grow.

* The emotional toll and moral courage required to lead through crisis, chaos, and change.

* Lessons from the field — from the battlefield to the EOC — about standing firm when the stakes are high.

* The power of resilience, humility, and conviction as anchors for authentic leadership.

* Why daring leadership is not about status, but service — and how every act of courage, big or small, shapes the world around us.

Whether you lead a team, a city, or simply yourself, this episode challenges you to step into the arena. Because, as Roosevelt reminded us, “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena… who errs, who comes short again and again… but who does actually strive to do the deeds.”

This is a raw, reflective, and empowering conversation that reminds us that leadership is not about being fearless — it’s about daring to act despite fear.

EM Morning Brief: Monday October 6th 2025

Thank You All For One Year 

It is incredible how time flies. When I sold my other venture in June of 2021, It was to expand the network and community we grew. The opportunity to do so would only happen after shedding the old and starting fresh. I was not 100% on how it would look. I was introduced to Substack because of a podcast and thought, why not give it a try? 

I created our first newsletter in December of 2021 and have yet to look back. 

So: happy anniversary, especially to those of you who have been here from the start.
