Haves

I have a quarter century of experience as a Professional Speaker and Consultant as well as two decades experience of as a disaster responder and over a decade and a half as a practicing physician.

Interests

I am the founder and president of the consulting firm High Alert, LLC. and is a recognized expert on both Disaster Preparedness and Corporate Leadership. I have served on expert panels with Congressional and Cabinet Members and as Founding Chairperson of the American Board of Disaster Medicine. I still serve the nation as a Senior Physician-Federal Medical Officer in the National Disaster Medical System. My new goal is to raise the "Culture of Preparedness" through early child education. During my service with NDMS in Katrina, I began developing a program called “Rinse, Lather, Repeat”. The Stop, Drop and Roll program has resulted in more children saving the lives of parents than parents saving the lives of children in household fires. Moreover, after three decades, the children of yesterday are the parents and even grandparents of today, all have now learned the lessons of Stop, Drop and Roll. Rinse, Lather, Repeat seeks to do the same for all hazards, not just fire. With Rinse, Lather, Repeat you can survive anything, anywhere, every time! Rinse, Lather, and Repeat is a one-week educational curriculum for kindergarten-age students that focuses on five core activities: 1. Preparation and maintenance of a three-day travel pack 2. Knowledge of where to obtain reliable news and evacuation instructions 3. The memorization of local and out-of-state phone numbers for friends and family 4. The location of local shelters and local evacuation routes 5. The appropriate hygiene techniques for home, hospital or other community facility including hand washing to decrease spread of disease. Finally, children will learn to decontaminate themselves. Unfortunately, health care workers still struggle with how to decontaminate a child. However, every child can be taught how to take a simple shower they just have to learn to Rinse well, to Lather well (not just wander around in the bathtub as so many kids do), and then to Repeat the process one time.
