OTM Live Event on Wednesday June 24 at The Greene Space!

Hey y'all it's Micah. If you live in New York, please drop by WNYC's Greene Space on Wednesday June 24 to see me, OTM Senior Producer Eloise Blondiau, and former FEMA official MaryAnn Tierney speak onstage. WNYC legend Nancy Solomon will be asking us questions about making the series, the history of the agency, and what's happening there now. A great way to meet other OTM listeners and learn more about how we make the show. Hopefully Brooke will make an appearance too???

Would love to see you there! If you can't make it, you can still sign up for the livestream. Tickets and more info here: https://wnyc.org/events/otm-fema

Journalist Request For Local/State Emergency Managers

Hi,

My name is Micah Loewinger. I’m co-host of On the Media, a nationally-syndicated public radio program and podcast. We’ve been reporting a four-part series called "American Emergency: The Movement To Kill FEMA." Thanks to those of you on the subreddit who’ve shared and weighed in on the first two episodes!

We’re still working on the last episode, which is partially about the final review council report. My understanding is that the proposed changes will affect bigger vs smaller states differently. I have read some reactions from local emergency managers, who believe that a FEMA that responds to fewer disasters could hurt their state. If you have that feeling, or you believe there is some nuance here that my audience should know about, I’d love to hear from you. 

If you're open to an interview, you can email me (mloewinger@wnyc.org) or reach me on signal: (646) 753-2373

Thanks!

-Micah
