Recently, Mike had the honor of co-presenting a talk at Catholic Charities USA’s annual Applied Institute for Disaster Excellence (AIDE) on the topic of crises communications. It was such a great experience that he and Jen brought on two great people from the institute, Jennifer Dyer, Director, Capacity Building for Disaster Operations at Catholic Charities USA and Daniel Altenau, Director of Communications & Disaster Services, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Raleigh. Dan was the far more polished co-presenter for the talk on crises communications. On this episode, we chat about how they became involved in disaster response services, how Catholic Charities supports disaster relief work both nationally and locally, and why disaster responders should consider attending AIDE.
