Summer Series #6 | Data Management & EM - Sarah Thompson Public Sector & Emergency Management

I’m so excited to welcome to the podcast this week my guest, Sarah Thompson. Sarah is the Senior Manager of Operations in Relief and Recovery at the Canadian Red Cross in Ontario, Canada. We focused a lot of our conversation around the topic of data and the importance of good data management.

We also discussed how data can be used as the foundation for effective communication in Emergency Management, making sure that we and the teams we work with develop skills or work with experts in organizing and interpreting data so that we are able to pull valuable insights from the information that we have access to.

Finally, Sarah also shares some insights from her experience in organizing deployments for the Red Cross as well as some advice and lessons that she has learned throughout her career.

I really enjoyed speaking with her and I’m so happy to be able to share this interview with you!
