Mayor's roundtable on Emergency Preparedness

Building on a successful series of interactive Community Roundtables this spring, Spokane Mayor Mary Verner hosted a new Roundtable on Emergency Management. The session’s topic is “A Community Discussion on Emergency Management and Preparedness.”The session is intended to explore how we plan for emergencies as a community and as individual citizens. Guests also talk about the role of Homeland Security programs and how agencies communicate with one another. With recent wildfires, the discussion is timely.

Joining the Mayor are guests:

Lisa Jameson, Spokane County Department of Emergency Management.

David Byrnes, Region 9 Homeland Security Director.

Dr. James Nania, Medical Program Director for Spokane County EMS and an emergency physician at Deaconess Medical Center—the Disaster Control Hospital for the 10 counties in Eastern Washington

This program originally aired on City Cable 5 in Spokane.
