HazChats 2024: Back and Better Than Ever | Social Media Evolution

Welcome back to HazChats! It's been a hot minute since our last HazChat and we're excited to return better than ever. Join Ginny and meet our newest host, Krys, HazAdapt's Design Lead, as we discuss the evolution and dangers of social media today and how we're doing it differently.

Season 1

HazAdapt interview with Emergency Manager: Mike Bamberger, OSU Emergency Manager

Since day one, we've partnered with local emergency managers and community members to ground truth our research and products. But what does a partnership between a tech startup and an emergency manager look like? How did this relationship impact both sides and what we created together? In this episode of HazChats, we're talking candidly with HazAdapt's longest-standing emergency management expert consultant, Mike Bamberger, CEM®, ORCEM, MEP, the Oregon State University Emergency Manager. Mike has been providing feedback to Ginny and HazAdapt team for over 3 years now, and today, he's sharing his perspective on the relationship and where he sees HazAdapt's future.

Recognizing Dehumanization, Online and Offline

In the last podcast we talked about the bystander effect and vigilantism. The natural question was, “How do people get to that point of dehumanizing?" Where do we see it online? Everywhere. What does it lead to? Harm. We'll talk about who's doing it and what it looks like in this episode.

The Polar Extremes in Emergency Response

TRIGGER WARNING: This podcast includes discussion around topics such as sexual assault, domestic violence, physical violence, lynching, stalking, discrimination, harassment, weapons, bullying, and other acts of violence and harm. We acknowledge that this content may be difficult to listen to and encourage you to skip this episode if you anticipate being upset by the discussion. From the internet to public spaces, there are many places where harm can occur. In this episode, we discuss everything from common crimes to the bystander effect, along with social safety and the biological response to emergency situations.

Testing the Development Cycle

In Episode 4, we went over our origins and goals, and in this discussion, we chat about how to catch blind spots in our biases. This ensures that our product and technology are as inclusive as possible. We'll answer questions, such as: How are we implementing humanity-friendly technology? How do we continue to be powerfully sustainable with our tech? And much more!

Why "Move Fast and Break Things" Causes Harm

This idea "move fast and break things" is the mantra of the tech industry. Our response: Why should tech be less accountable than other industries? Today, Ginny talks about something that she hears all the time when talking about our design process and commitment to creating inclusive and humanity-friendly technology.

Intentionality in Technology

How can we do no harm as a technology startup? CEO Ginny Katz and Software Engineer Joshua Barringer define and discuss humanity-friendly technology and how it is needed now more than ever.

Facebook vs. Humanity-Friendly Technology

Many tech companies find themselves in hot water because they forget one important thing: community. In building technology and tools, intention is everything. How does "Do No Harm" influence our decisions in technology? Listen in to get inspired.
