The 32 year old Ian Nuttel has visited Canada and the United States and talked to people with experiences in large scale catastrophes. He has spent a little more than five weeks with several firefighting departments. On his trip, he also talked to people who plan and train to deal with disasters and terrorist activity and also met with police officers and military units.
