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.

This one was absolutely awesome. Ready to run through a wall listening to Donald Duncan describe leading through and after an emergency. Amazing storyteller and passion for public service.
Thank you for sharing the checklist in the show notes!
Another insightful podcast focusing on timely topics!
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.
