Joe Myers Speaks to the FL Association of Counties (FAC)
Joe Myers was invited to join the FL Association of Counties (FAC) and speak on “Emergency Management Roles and Regulations.” A copy of the presentation can be found here, and the link to the webinar can be found here.
In this webinar, Joe reviewed and answered questions like:
What is emergency management?
What are the laws & authorities the counties must follow?
What are the various funding options?
Joe walked through various disasters. According to Joe, ultimately, disasters can be anything from wars in Baghdad to hurricanes to the COVID-19 pandemic. Your response is still the same. You still have:
Infrastructure damaged, destroyed, or unusable
People who are isolated or displaced
Joe emphasized the one key issue that most organization face in a disaster:
You will fail if you have team members who don’t share information.
If your organization is was not prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic, our team can help! Reach out to Linda Berry directly at linda@dsideas.com.
