In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes Jack Moss, CEO & Board Member at Fortem International, to discuss the Natural Disaster Expo series and the upcoming Houston event (October 14–15). Moss explains the expo evolved from a UK Flood Expo launched about 10 years ago and expanded in the U.S. after interest from major agencies and stakeholders, including FEMA, Homeland Security, NASA, and NOAA, first in Miami and later California, then Houston as disasters increased in Texas. The conference brings together government entities, municipalities, first responders, private industry, risk and compliance professionals, reconstruction and construction providers, and funding-related participants to source products and services and learn how to predict, prevent, and manage disasters. Listeners can get a free pass to the event by using the link and code below.
