Situational Awareness Matters!™


Helping individuals and teams understand human factors,
reduce the impact of situational awareness barriers,
and improve decision making under stress.

On this episode (Part 1 of 2) I interview with Indianapolis Health & Safety Chief Doug Abernathy. At the time of the fire Doug had served on the Indianapolis Fire Department for four years. While this was a near-miss event for Doug, the incident resulted in the death of two of his comrades, Corporal Ellwood (Woody) Gelenius and Private John Lorenzano.
