Public Awareness & Education
From the Office of Bryan R. Johannes, Emergency Management Director
Recently, the Emergency Management Director launched an ongoing program designed to provide information to families and businesses about how to protect themselves before, during, and after emergency situations such as hurricanes and pandemics. Hudson families and businesses can take this opportunity to start planning in advance to minimize injury and property damage.
