À propos de ce contenu audio

 Leading Las Vegas is a podcast produced by the Emergency and Crisis Management Program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Each season, students in a Leadership, Innovation and Adaptability class interview prominent leaders, who discuss their leadership approaches, and how they prepare for, respond to, and recover from shocks and stresses faced by the community. Las Vegas is known for being the entertainment capital of the world. However, it is also a complex environment, with a highly diverse community living in densely populated urban and suburban areas. It is situated near rugged and desolate land, with an arid climate and extreme temperatures in summer months. This unique nature of the city and its location create dynamic challenges for leaders. Each season, the Leading Las Vegas podcast will focus on specific issues relevant to emergencies and crises, as well as community resilience. It’s a must-listen for emergency managers, leaders, community members, and students interested in the field of emergency crisis management. *** Season 1 of Leading Las Vegas focuses on Tourist Safety. Tourism is an integral part of Las Vegas, with over 42 million people visiting the city every year. Large-scale events from shows at hotel properties, to music festivals, to high-profile sporting events, occur on a nightly basis, along with conventions that can draw well over 100,000 attendees. Different agencies work together in the community to plan for these events, and respond when safety threats occur. In this season, we discuss issues of event planning, current and future threats, as well as community resilience. Las Vegas was also the site of the October 1, 2017 Route 91 Music Festival shooting, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. The season contains an episode focused on the shooting, and conversations with the leaders involved with the security planning and response to the attack, and an interview with Las Vegas mayor, Carolyn Goodman, who discusses the city’s resilience.© 2021 Public Radio KUNV Politique et gouvernement Sciences politiques

      Aug 5 2022

      Ms. Bartlett discuss how the Venetian shut its doors, and the challenges of re-opening them. She describes how the property learned of COVID, how it developed a response plan, and the importance of having a team made up of members with complimentary skill sets. Many creative solutions had to be developed to create a safe environment that allowed tourists to return. Communication played a vital role in creating these solutions, and Ms. Bartlett discusses the importance of this critical leadership tool, especially in times of crises.

    • Illuminating Inequities: Caring for Vulnerable Populations During COVID

      Illuminating Inequities: Caring for Vulnerable Populations During COVID
      Aug 4 2022

      This episode of Leading Las Vegas delves into how COVID disrupted existing support systems for individuals in need of services, and examines leadership approaches that help vulnerable communities during a crisis. We learn how organizations responded to, and embraced, changes they were required to make during the pandemic. Carlito Rayos describes his experience working with the Moapa Band of Paiute, what he learned about their culture, including care of their elders, and the community’s willingness to make sacrifices to keep the population safe. We also hear from Arash Ghafoori, as he reflects on the unique aspects of youth homelessness, and the difficulties this population experienced when COVID led to closure of important resources for them. Throughout this episode, we focus on the importance of providing services to vulnerable populations, and the lessons learned that will help communities prepare for, and respond to, future emergencies and crises.
