Dr. E. G. Weiss, Jr. is a veteran emergency management professional, author, consultant, and instructor with more than four decades of experience spanning emergency response, homeland security, threat analysis, and risk management. Beginning his career as a responder at the age of nineteen, Dr. Weiss has worked across local, state, federal, and private-sector environments, advising organizations on preparedness, security, leadership, and crisis decision-making.
Dr. Weiss is the founder of E. G. Weiss & Associates and 1910 Publishing Co., where he combines operational experience with critical-thinking methodology to challenge reactive, checklist-driven approaches to safety and response. His work emphasizes strategic foresight, human behavior, leadership under pressure, and the real-world consequences of poor planning and complacency.
An accomplished author and speaker, Dr. Weiss writes on emergency management, leadership, faith, security, resilience, and the psychological realities faced by responders and leaders alike. His writing is shaped by lived experience, historical analysis, and a lifelong commitment to asking hard questions—particularly where lives, accountability, and legacy are at stake.
Dr. Weiss lives in Texas with his family and continues to work with agencies, organizations, and leaders who value preparation over panic and thinking over titles.
