  • Before, During and After a Crisis, with Justen Noakes

    Before, During and After a Crisis, with Justen Noakes
    Aug 3 2025
    All disasters are local. Disaster preparation often comes down to reliable information and accessible routine. This week, we chat with Justen Noakes, the Executive Director of Before/During/After and HEB's former "hurricane guy," about how an accessible and localized information hub can help small business plan, react and recover from crises. Noakes has also written a research paper for IHS on supply chain management and problem solving. We're also joined by IHS Public Sector Program Executive Robert Crane and gone-but-not-forgotten IHS transportation project manager Grant Threat.

    We all depend on products delivered by trucks. Shipping industries are a vital part of critical infrastructure at risk of unique scams and fraud - even when goods themselves make it from Point A to Point B just fine. This week, we chat with Matthew Wood, vice president of strategic relationships and general manager of Cedar Bluff Companies, about proactive steps to detect and avoid freight fraud. You can also learn more from a recent webinar hosted by the Institute for Homeland Security and the Greater Houston Trucking Association.
