New Directions: From Tonka Trucks to Complex Exercise Design:
A career beginning with military service followed by public safety and emergency management led founder of Blue Cell, Todd Manns, to focus on disaster exercise design. ICS courses are demanding—they condense a semester and a half of college-level business management into just three days, often for resistant participants.
In partnership with Simental Industries, Blue Cell has now released the EOC Board Game: Complex Coordinated Attack 8 in Chelsea County USA. This force-on-force board game blends ICS, EOC structuring, resource management, and the unpredictability of chance and consequence. The Blue Cell has emerged as one of the world’s most active training and exercise companies reaching students across the U.S. and around the globe.

A Century of Resilience: Lessons from My Father's 100 Years
This week, I’m stepping briefly away from technical sessions and trend analysis to reflect on something more foundational — the human side of resilience. This week, my father, Jack Gannon, turned 100 years old. A century of life, leadership, grit, and grace.

However, the effects of climate- and weather-related disasters are not uniform, varying greatly depending on location. To pinpoint where these events are having the greatest impact, researchers at Trace One conducted an in-depth analysis of the latest data from the USDA and FEMA.
