The Mental Aftermath Of Disaster. In the wake of a disaster, especially terrorism, up to 90% of those exposed may suffer psychological distress or psychological crisis. Almost 50% exposed may suffer significant clinical impairment such as Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. With percentages this high it is very important that we understand the needs of first responders. With disasters at an all time high this year, and the number of response agencies overwhelmed, what should we be looking at? We'll be interviewing Courtney Feuquay, a specialist in post-disaster counseling.

National Preparedness Month. September 5, 2011
 9-11 Revisited The Chasing4Life Team shares their experiences after a trip to Joplin for the 9-11 National Flag Ceremony commemorating September 11th on the attack's 10th Anniversary, but there's a change... we're celebrating September 12th!
Eric also wrote and recorded the Chasing4Life theme song "They Are Americans" featured on our website. The song has been used to raise funds for the Chasing4Life Disaster Response Team.
We'll be live with Bill and Janet Liebsch, authors of "It's A Disaster...and what are you gonna do about it?". We'll be talking about what it takes to sell disaster preparedness in a country where we spend more on coffee in a year than we spend on disaster preparedness education. How do you do it? How do you convince the public that they are all stakeholders? What is the right approach?

With special guests from the fire service, it's "Stop, Drop and Roll" night on our show! We're gonna talk fire prevention all night as we kick off Fire Prevention Month!Special guest is Mike Casagrande from the Kankakee, Illinois Fire Department!
Severe Weather with the Weather Dude Just a week after the Rocket City Weather Fest in Huntsville, Alabama, we'll be spending the night with Nick Walker from The Weather Channel! We'll be discussing this year's phenomenal weather events, but we'll hear from Nick what it has been like to be the forecaster and reporter in the midst of it all. We'll find out just what was happening this year at the festival in Huntsville and we'll even take a peek at the festival in Birmingham coming up. Wait, there's more... we're going to introduce you to WHY Nick is known as the weather dude! We're going to talk about Nick's "weather music" and his career OUTSIDE of the television world. When meteorologist Nick Walker from The Weather Channel talks to his national audience about weather, it's not just a scripted message. "I want my viewers to develop a fascination for weather, understand it, and respect its power," he says. And I want to do it in a way that's memorable."His tactic? On camera he uses graphics, maps, and knowledgeable explanations. Off-camera, he sings. Known as "The Weather Dude" to thousands of kids and families throughout the country, Nick uses his vocal, instrumental and songwriting talents to drive home his meteorological message. From classrooms to science festivals and community events, Nick performs his catchy weather songs to teach the basics of weather, and to stress the importance of severe weather preparedness.

When the kids become the teachers
Several months ago, we presented a program on Home Disaster Kits to a large group of Girl Scouts. What happened AFTER that night is where the story began... a few of those girls went home and created home disaster kits for their families, but it did not stop there. These young ladies created a disaster kit program and became the educators, teaching their peers about disaster preparedness. In this episode, we'll challenge our adult listeners as we interview these young leaders.

To teach them before it is too late
December 19, 2011
While emergency management agencies have many dilemmas facing them in
a world wrought with disaster, the most daunting could be how to
prepare the public BEFORE the disaster strikes. Disaster preparedness
events are the name of the game here at Chasing4Life, but to the
community that is trying to break the ice, where do you start? On this show we will be taking a look at the step by step process of how one county made the effort to reach their population from the youngest to the oldest and how their efforts paid off. We will be interviewing Chanay Ray, Administrative Assistant from the Douglas County IL Emergency Management Agency (EMA) and Coroner’s Office. Douglas County has a lot of threats lurking behind the scenes so preparedness education was a high priority, but how to do it? Could it be done without disrupting all of the other projects in the County? Is it really worth investing in preparedness events?
A look at Mayan Prophecy and the end of time in America December 26, 2011 There's so much hype about the Mayan calendar, and you're going to hear much more before the new year is through. Most don't take it seriously, and already, the threat of the "Mayan calandar doom" is being shrugged off like a Y2K leftover molding in the veggie drawer of the world's fridge...but what if we misunderstood? What if they were right? According to the experts, the Mayan Calandar comes to an end in 2012. This means the end of time, but does it mean the end of life? Don't confuse the two! In this episode, Chasing4Life founder Eddy Weiss will look at the possibility of "the end of time" and what that might actually mean. Could it be that by the end of the new year America is forced to live in a different "time"? How prepared will YOU be if the Mayans were just misunderstood?
Lessons Learned in 2011... January 2, 2012 Do you have a preparedness resolution? It's time to look back at 2011 and learn from our experiences. What resolutions could we make? Which ones should be our priority? What happened in 2011 thatwe should be learning from? Do we have the power to make 2012 a different year? A safer one? Is it REALLY in our power to create "Stronger Community"?
Under The Big Cloud January 16, 2012
James Buffin's film "Under The Big Cloud" is not your everyday project. A "poetic odyssey", this is a tale of nature's fury and man's strength. But most of all perhaps, it is about grief, loss, and how these shape a man's entire existence.
What seems like a very
personal journey for one man becomes an exploration of the soul for all
mankind. James Buffin takes the audience from otherworldly disasters to places
forever affected by them. He shows us sights that seem to be ripped from fairy
tales, places th Under the Big Cloud was started in 2009 as three different projects. The first one was with the Chasing4Life storm chase team in and a series of coincidences led to two trips to Samoa, shooting with survivors of a tsunami. James then travelled as a volunteer to help them tell their own stories. Indonesia was April-May this year. But it wasn't until James covered the Toronto International Film Festival a magazine earlier this year magazine that he realized all three projects belonged together. We bring James to the radio show to share how he went from filmmaker to the subject of his own film and to answer the question everyone keeps asking: "What happened to the Chasing4Life movie?"
Thinking outside the box January 23, 2012
We live in a dangerous world. And during a serious emergency, "first responders" -police, firefighters, paramedics- will be busy helping other people. That's why you need a disaster kit. To take care of your needs, and the needs of your loved ones, until help can arrive. We've chosen to visit with the folks from ReadyBox in this episode of the show because this is a company with insight into what you need to have in that disaster kit! Here at Chasing4Life we have believed for a long time you cannot simply buy a disaster kit but have to customize one for your needs. ReadyBox is that great starter kit for the person-on-the-go, the family or the responder looking to start walking the walk and not just talking the talk when it comes to preparedness! Sometimes, knowing what to put INSIDE the box takes understanding what could be happening OUTSIDE the box...

Under The Big Cloud Part Two February 6, 2012
A few weeks ago we heard from filmmaker James Buffin of Veritus Pictures. "Under The Big Cloud" is a film about trauma and disaster and the effect trauma has on the human life. In this episode we will visit once again with James to see how the making of the movie turned into the movie itself as James discovered more about himself than he ever could get on film.

The introduction song for Chasing4Life's "Stronger Community" Radio Show was recorded by Ted Fillhart. Ted is a long-time friend and supporter of Chasing4Life, and we were over-joyed when Ted gave his permission to use his blues-rendition of "God Bless America". We wanted to share some background of the song, so we asked Ted to share how he came to record the anthem...

This night we'll be talking about National Preparedness Month! The month of September is supposed to be that month we all get better prepared. Why is it that less than 50% of Americans are making disaster plans? How do we integrate the message into our everyday lives? What can we do with our family? What measures can a business take? What are we supposed to be preparing FOR? This show will cover it all!
Our special guest will be patriotic sing/songwriter Eric Horner! After
the attacks on 9-11, Eric recorded his hit "We Will Stand" with just his
vocal and guitar in his production studio, and took it to WSM Radio in
Nashville. That's all it took. Within two weeks, "We Will Stand" was
being played on every reporting country station in the country. His
website was over run with requests for the song which led Eric to donate
the proceeds of the single to the Staten Island Victim's Relief Fund in
NY.
Do companies really change the way they operate because of the forecasts? How are companies adapting to a changing climate? Can a business take advantage of a bad situation without taking advantage of people? Look at how companies have changed their corporate structure, their marketing and even their mission statements because of disasters! How many can YOU think of? Tides-of-Hope? Walmart? Home Depot? We'll be speaking with an executive from ServiceMaster Corporation to find out just how disaster response has grown their company, how they plan for major disasters and how they try to educate their customers.

We are thrilled to announce that on December 12, the
Chasing4Life "Stronger Community" Radio Show will host an episode with Kim
Stephens, lead blogger of iDisaster 2.0! Kim is well-known for her focus on the
benefits as well as the challenges the emergency management community might
face when employing new information communications technologies before, during
and after a crisis.
"When my youngest daughter was 6 or 7 years old she enjoyed singing Patriotic songs. She was running around the house singing the traditional version of "God Bless America" and I thought that would be a great song to add to my concerts. At that time I was writing new songs to perform and eventually would record. As I considered "God Bless America" I realized it wasn't just a song but actually a prayer and it was definitely a song I wanted to do. However, I wasn't interested in recording the traditional version, so I started experimenting with different musical genres and found out that a Blues version I came up with really captured the feeling and emotion that I was looking for. Before long I added my blues version of the song to my live concert sets and quickly found that people really enjoyed it and it eventually ended up on my CD that I recorded in Nashville.
