The Alerting Authority is the only weekly podcast dedicated to the art and science of public alerting, emergency messaging, and preparedness. Hosted by Jeannette Sutton, the leading researcher in public alerts and warnings, and Eddie Bertola, an expert in emergency communications technology, each episode explores real-world alerts, emergency incidents, and lessons learned from past events. From natural hazards like wildfires, floods, and hurricanes to man-made crises and missing persons cases, we discuss what works, what fails, and why.
If you have a topic you want us to address, a success story, a failure, or new technology then reach out and let us know.
Produced by The Alerting Authority LLC, the podcast is hosted by Eddie Bertola and Dr. Jeannette Sutton. Together, they bring decades of experience in emergency management, alert research, and crisis communication.
