    Episode 230 - Communications Silence During a Crisis - with Keith Erwood
    Apr 13 2026

    We all understand how important communication is during a crisis. But this week's guest says that during high profile building evacuations, there is a time when communications silence is the proper protocol. But that doesn't mean we don't communicate. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 230 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! This week we are joined by former NY City EMS, turned resilience professional Keith Erwood. Keith and Mark take a couple of minutes to circle back to our recent conversation about blast radius. Keith explains that to him, the term literally refers to damage caused by an explosion. And that leads Keith to the topic of communications silence during an evacuation. He says that silence doesn't mean we don't communicate during the crisis, it means that our phones can't be used to detonate a device. Keith says while this is counter-intuitive and encounters pushback, radio silence is essential. Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey! We sure do appreciate it! Check out the Resilient Journey Hub!

    Mar 30 2026

    Mark recently posted a poll on LinkedIn, asking if people use the phrase "blast radius". Some of you said yes, you use it, but most said no. And others expressed concern about the phrase itself. Let's dig into it.

    Hello everyone and welcome to episode 228 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! This week Mark takes a few minutes to share the concept of 'blast radius' and its use in terms of business resilience strategies. He starts by addressing the thoughtful comments of our colleagues regarding the phrase and how it may not be received well in some settings. But whether you use the term blast radius or impact radius, the concepts are worth noting. Mark talks about Concentration risk, and says that “Resilience isn’t about preventing failure—it’s about preventing failure from becoming catastrophic.”
