We're back after a vacation (we promise never to leave you again) and we take on Texas fire codes, a minute-by-minute breakdown of the South Korean Ferry Disaster, and Socialist Flood Control. Plus, a listener asks how to get into emergency management, FEMA puts the funny back into the PSA and we watch the drones that are watching us - with special guest Dr. Jordan Pascoe. Go Dukes! 

Would better Incident Command keep Hollywood from destroying America? Listen to The Dukes to find out. Plus, we break down the West Virgina Chemical Spill, and game how good an Emergency Manager Tommy Lee Jones REALLY is. Also: earthquakes, the complexities of disaster planning, celebrating 90s Christian Rock, and mourning the Ultimate Warrior. And Idris Elba makes a speech with, like, four pauses. Whew. 

The Dukes talk the Oso mudslide, Fukushima three years later, and Craig Fugate (our idol) and his Waffle House index! Plus, a review of Broad City's Hurricane Wanda episode and a brand new listener question about everybody's favorite topic: How To Get a Job. Also, um, Mitch's dog goes wild. 

We go in depth with Alex Theran, a worker with All Hands Volunteers, on the impact and recovery from Typhoon Haiyan (called Yoland in the Phillippines) - and why karaoke may sometimes help more than ICS. Plus, drones, Vladimir Putin, and a 30,000 year old virus that may take out your ATM. Or something. 

The Dukes are back with a bang as they take on the Atlanta Clusterflake, the British floods, the California drought, plus the Sochi Olympics and FEMA's new DRC designs. Also, we look back at the Atlanta Olympic bombing and review the song 'Pompeii' by Bastille. Watch out for frostquakes!

First episode of this emergency management podcast! We do a disaster news roundup, What's in your Go Bag, OMGIAP (our emergency management advice) and a review of This is the End, a movie about the end of the world.
