“I thoroughly enjoyed Steve’s presentation at the Association of Continuity Professionals (ACP) Conference. He is a gifted presenter as well as a passionate speaker on a very important, under-served topic.”
Scott Ream

"I highly recommend Steven Eberlein to anyone who wants to have a great presentation on earthquake resiliency in the Pacific Northwest. I worked with him for many years at the Red Cross, and his presentations were superb and engaging! They got people to rise to a level of action that got themselves ready. All of the ideas he presents are superb! He is a talented speaker!”
Professor of Geology, Portland State University
ACP National Board Chairperson
“Our employees left the event extremely impressed by the quality of Steve's presentation, and how he shared his own personal experience with natural disasters. They also expressed how they already had action items to work on to get prepared."
Annette Navarro
Corporate Giving and Volunteering, Daimler Trucks North America
“All I have to say is...wow!!! Although I had seen his TEDx Talk and knew what a great speaker he was, Steve’s simply tremendous live and in person. And more importantly, I think he had a serious influence on the attendees of our disaster symposium. His presentation was informative, incredibly engaging and action-oriented -- exactly what our audience needs and loves."

Preparedness and the Myth of Knowledge
Have you ever met someone who’s never ridden a bike, heard a song on the radio, received a piece of mail, pet a cat, eaten an apple, caught a cold or seen an ice cube? That’s because you’ve never been to North Sentinel Island, nor should you ever go.
Ode to the Shakeout
I love the awkwardness, I love people’s reluctance to participate, I love the slow domino effect of begrudging cooperation, I love the embarrassed laughter of people returning to their seats.
Boxing Day Tsunami
Newly married and still recovering from a potentially life-threatening bout of dengue fever in December of 2004, Oregon natives Steve and Lydia had never given much thought to disaster preparedness. All that changed when they suddenly found themselves in the middle of the largest disaster response effort in history.
