Media, Storytelling & Outreach
Disaster Response Services (DRS) uses podcasts, video, animation, and digital media
to make preparedness real, local, and human. From The Command Post podcast to the
Paws for Life animated series, every project is built to support communities,
responders, and families where they are.
These media projects are not just “content” — they are tools for training,
emotional resilience, and community connection, created from inside the
emergency services world.
Media at DRS is designed to be calm, respectful, and practical. Every project is built to
reinforce training, support families and responders, and give communities language for what
they’re going through.
A conversation-driven show that brings responders, CERT members,
educators, and community partners to the table to talk about real
disasters, lessons learned, and the people behind the scenes.
Youth-focused concepts like Paws for Life and
related projects help children and families talk about emergencies in a gentle,
age-appropriate way.
Short clips, animations, and explainers that reinforce in-person training
and help people visualize what preparedness looks like.
Disaster stories are often told in ways that are graphic or sensational. DRS takes a different
approach: we aim to be honest about risk and loss while respecting the people involved and
avoiding unnecessary harm to viewers and listeners.
Media is one more tool in the kit: it should leave people more informed and more grounded,
not more overwhelmed.
Whether you’re an educator, responder, parent, student, or partner agency, we’re open to exploring
thoughtful, trauma-aware media projects that support your community’s real needs.
