National Disaster Drama – Presentation with H2O Partners

The presentation above was created in conjunction with H2O Partners, an agency founded by Jo Ann Howard, FEMA’s former Federal Insurance Administrator.  H2O Partners specializes in the planning and management of national disasters and has a challenging message to communicate in a highly politicized field. So a simple but memorable presentation was important for two reasons: the first is that national disasters have widespread consequences and the second is that much of those consequences could be mitigated if people understood who’s responsible for what, when. H2O did an incredible job of creating the metaphor and the script for this “disaster drama” and my role was to produce a presentation that is visually compelling for any age and that gives H2O the flexibility to adapt the script for different audiences.

H2O will present the visual case for disaster prevention and mitigation to numerous audiences, hoping to rally the political will to prevent another tragedy like Hurricane Katrina.
