#122 ”The Philly Special” - EM Style - Interview with Director Dominick Mireles of Philadelphia’s Office of Emergency Management

In February 2018, the term "Philly Special" went down in history for football fans everywhere as the now iconic trick play caught the New England Patriots completely unprepared and helped propel the Philadelphia Eagles to their first World Championship.

That same month, Dominick Mireles was promoted to Deputy Director of Operations in the Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management. Now as Director, Dominick is working every day to make sure that the approach to readiness and emergency response is truly special in the City of Philadelphia.

Dominick was recently involved in a full scale exercise with Task Force 46 which gave Military personnel, Emergency Managers, and First Responders a chance to work together and collaborate on response efforts.

In this episode, Dominick talks about the exercise, while also emphasizing the importance of first hand experience in Emergency Management and response, while not dismissing the opportunity for those new to the field to learn on the job and thus improve their abilities in times of crisis.
