  • Know Your Route for Disasters

    Know Your Route for Disasters
    2026/07/09
    Chris Stewart is the President and Co-founder of IntelliMass Technologies Inc., a road-
    intelligence company based in British Columbia. A strategic and ethically-centered
    business leader, Chris has spent his career guiding cross-functional teams, developing
    commercialization pathways, and transforming innovative technical concepts into
    market-ready products.

    Driven by the reality that unpaved terrain presents unique, dynamic liabilities during
    emergencies, Chris leads the commercialization of an emerging platform designed to
    map and monitor remote infrastructure for the mining, forestry, and rural sectors. His
    expertise includes navigating unpaved performance technologies, driving
    organizational growth, and establishing operational systems that allow public and
    private stakeholders to accurately analyze terrain risks.

    Previously, Chris served as President and General Manager of KXI Wildertec—a
    subsidiary of a public transportation tech company—where he directed the
    commercialization of mechatronic technologies engineered specifically for unpaved
    terrain performance. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing
    Management with Distinction from the University of British Columbia, where his award-
    winning thesis work harnessed early-generation AI for business optimization. Chris
    and his wife own and operate a small production farm in the Okanagan Valley of BC.

  • Trust Factor During Disasters

    Trust Factor During Disasters
    2026/06/25
    Trust is a basic ingredient in every relationship. This applies to individuals, marriages,
    business partners, nations and the relationship of governments to individuals. Trust is
    the topic we are going to explore today and how it applies to emergency management
    and disasters.

    Kehinde Bolu Adesina, also known as Kenny, is a PhD researcher in Mass
    Communication at the University of Oklahoma’s Gaylord College. His work focuses on
    the intersection of crisis communication, disaster communication, public trust, and
    misinformation. He studies how institutions, government agencies, nonprofits, and
    faith-based organizations communicate during high-risk events, and why those
    communication systems often fail even when the people inside them are working hard
    and acting in good faith.

    He is a contributor to a major NSF-funded disaster resilience project at OU, where he
    conducts research on how organizations share critical knowledge during emergencies,
    analyze misinformation patterns on social media, and support cross-sector
    preparedness workshops involving emergency managers, nonprofits, faith-based
    organizations, and public health communicators. His research builds toward a
    framework called the “Crisis Meaning-Making Model,” which examines how
    communities interpret events through emotion, identity, and social context, not just
    official information.

    Originally from Nigeria, he completed his bachelor’s degree in Communication at
    Beijing Normal University in China and his master’s degree in Communication at the
    University of Illinois Springfield. Before beginning his doctoral work, he served as an
    Illini Science Policy Fellow and Media Production Coordinator at the Illinois Department
    of Agriculture, supporting communication on conservation and climate resilience.
    Kenny is multilingual, speaking English, Yoruba, French, and Mandarin, and brings a
    distinctly cross-cultural lens to questions of trust, public risk, and institutional credibility.
    He has a newsletter, Making Sense of Uncertainty, translating crisis communication
    research into practical guidance for leaders working in emergency management, public
    health, and organizational communication.

    2026/06/10
