Yeah, I think planning ahead is key. The more you can know and more you can strategize, the better off you're going to be. Rather than the oh shit moment, something happened and now I have to react. Most people would prefer to be the first and not the latter. In terms of us as professionals, we are attached to this in some way. We're part of this system.

Everything you just mentioned, Kyle, we handle data. We are part of some of these systems that are either built or working on for early warnings. Part of our private sector, we're part of government. Some of us could be working directly with stakeholders. And I think what I love about what you said over this whole episode is I kept thinking in my head that this is such a boil the ocean situation.

We keep talking about all these problems and all these things going on. And how do we stay resilient? But that's such an overarching goal, right? That's the biggest goal. But we really need to sit down and just make that cup of tea rather than just keep trying to boil the ocean because we'll never make it if we are trying to do that. It's too big. It's too daunting.

But if you said it best, we go back to the community and look at it for a community aspect. That's making your cup of tea because that takes it down from big earth-shattering situation to, okay, I can handle like a hundred miles worth of situation rather than thousands of miles and beyond. So thank you for that because that was kind of like the hope moment.

That really put in perspective for me that if you can break down your thinking, the systems thinking down to the smallest components would be that community aspect.

Well, thanks so much for your time, Kyle. We'll have all the information in the show notes and some of the articles that he was mentioning and some of the various topics. Also, there'll be some links to Crisis Lab if you want to learn more about that, which I highly recommend. Anything you want to say before you leave, Kyle?
