Emergencies happen. And when they do, it’s public works professionals who are usually the first to respond. They are on the front lines clearing storm debris, rebuilding washed-out roads, and clearing roads of several inches of snow. So June’s APWA Reporter is focused on emergency management.
In this month’s President’s Message, APWA President Vic Bianes, PE, says, “Emergency management is not separate from public works; it is woven into everything we do. Long before an incident occurs, public works professionals are planning, training, inspecting, maintaining assets, and strengthening essential systems.”
Here’s what else you’ll find:
- How to assess damage and begin to recover
- Restoring lifelines—responding to Hurricane Helene
- Strengthening regional collaboration
All that and more in this month’s issue. Take a moment and start reading now.
