"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."  

This quote from Helen Keller personifies the relationship agencies need to get effective information out during times of crisis.

Amy Forsythe, a Public Affairs Officer for the U.S. Navy knows this well.  

Amy brings more than three decades of experience in military journalism and media relations to the table.  Having reported from all over the world, she has worked to create effective messaging and reporting during a variety of crises and incidents.  

In this episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, she shares some of those experiences including, among others, being on the frontlines of active shooter situations on military bases, the Cuban Rafter Crisis where thousands of Cubans fled their home country using makeshift rafts and boats en route to the United States.

She and host, John Scardena also dive into the mind of media professionals as they create messaging during times of crisis, including analyzing their coverage of the recent assassination attempt of former President, Donald Trump.

Amy has also worked to educate the next generation of media professionals as an adjunct professor and author.  Her book, "Heroes Live Here: A Tribute to Camp Pendleton Marines Since 9/11" takes readers inside the heroic work of Camp Pendleton Marines in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.
