About this listen

Ladris founder and CEO Leo Zlimen explains how his company is using hyper-advanced simulation software to solve the most complex variable in any disaster: human movement. By modeling billions of scenarios in real-time, Ladris gives emergency managers and citizens the one resource they need most—time. Leo discusses the move toward "zero-click" simulations, the psychology of leaving early, and why transparency is the key to passing critical public safety tax measures.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

  • The Mission of Ladris: Striving for a future where zero lives are lost during natural disasters through better pre-planning.

  • Time as a Resource: Understanding the "maximum distance" problem—how far can you actually get in 30 minutes during a crisis?

  • The Power of Simulation: How running billions of "what-if" scenarios helps first responders make tactical decisions before the first spark.

  • The "Zero-Click" Future: Moving from static emergency plans to real-time models that detect fire and immediately provide the plan with the highest probability of success.

  • B2G Realities: The nuances of working with government agencies and building the "translation layer" between tech and the fire service.

  • Transparency for the Public: Using visual models to show residents exactly how a fire would impact their specific neighborhood to encourage earlier evacuations.
