Picking Up the “Slack” in EM Communications

A philosopher once said made the case for the importance of experience when he said, “Life can only be understood backward, but must be lived forwards.”

In this episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, guest Mark “Whit” Whittington shares how his multiple decades of experience with the biggest technology companies in the country has led him to be on the cutting edge of emergency communications.

“Whit” is the Public Sector Vice President at Slack, North America. In that capacity, he has helped guide Slack to the forefront of emergency communications. One such step in that direction includes the recent agreement between Slack and the National Weather Service to create NWSChat 2.0.

Before joining Slack, “Whit” worked in upper management at some of the largest and most successful tech companies including among others, Oracle, Microsoft, and Amazon.

In this episode, “Whit” explains his gratitude for having a “ringside seat” to see how tech companies such as Slack can play a major role in disaster and emergency response. He has seen it firsthand over the years in situations such as “Digital Dunkirk” and the 2022 Kentucky Floods.
