Caldwell County Manager Donald Duncan and his team were about as prepared as one could be for a natural disaster the size and scope of Hurricane Helene. But even still -- there were lessons to be learned and shared in the aftermath of this storm. In this riveting?interview series, Donald gives us a rundown of the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to disaster response and preparedness. He has also provided us with a checklist for you and your team to review (see the show notes). I guarantee you will come away with some nuggets of wisdom from this two-part series and that you will be able to go back to your team and better prepare for your next natural or man-made disaster. If you have the misfortune of sharing Donald's fate -- you will be exposed to both.

Very important podcast for those of us in the public sector. I find this podcast to be strategic in these times of government reorganization. So important to learn about Emergency Mgt Planning from Donald Duncan. Appreciate his tip sheet/planning guide also.
Thank you for sharing the checklist in the show notes!
Another insightful podcast focusing on timely topics!
