    75_Parks and Recreation– What They Got Right (and Hilariously Wrong) About Disaster Drills
    Aug 18 2025
    In this episode of the DisasterClass Podcast by Instinct Ready, hosts Jason Perez and Wesley Long are joined by Anthony Escoto of Disaster Operations Group to take a deep dive into the Parks and Recreation Season 5 episode “Emergency Response.” You know—the one where Leslie Knope faces an avian flu outbreak drill on the exact same day as her big gala fundraiser.

    With Anthony’s real-world disaster response expertise, we break down each scene of the fictional drill, highlighting what’s surprisingly accurate, what’s wildly unrealistic, and the valuable lessons that emergency managers, public safety professionals, and even city officials can take away.We also spotlight Haz Assist—the powerful tool from Disaster Operations Group—designed to help you assess risk and create plans. Learn more at disasteroperationsgroup.com.

    From last-minute scenario reveals to communication breakdowns, political sabotage, and Leslie’s decision to “destroy the entire town” in the simulation, we uncover how this comedy episode is a goldmine for talking about incident command, exercise planning, and after-action reviews.Whether you’re a Parks and Rec fan, an emergency management professional, or just curious about how drills really work, you’ll walk away knowing why Pawnee’s approach would fail—and how real-world agencies like Disaster Operations Group do it right.
