Jared Moskowitz

Peter Schorsch hunkers down with Jared Moskowitz, Florida Division of Emergency Management director, for the first time after trying for weeks to get him on the show. Moskowitz has been busy dealing with what has become perhaps the most severe state emergency in Florida’s history.

Moskowitz formerly served in the Florida House of Representatives. He discusses the ongoing statewide stay-at-home order and when the state might reopen for business.

Moskowitz discusses the state’s response to the virus and how it managed to be third in the nation for the number of tests administered. That work, he said, is why Florida managed to shirk estimates that it could reach virus levels rivaling hotspots on Italy and New York City.

He also laments the pandemic, even if the state fared better than it could, for claiming the lives of hundreds of Floridians and disrupting the lives of most families.

Moskowitz also discusses his hectic daily routine as he leads the state’s massive response to the virus. He’s been pulling 18-19 hour days and working into the wee hours of the morning on plans, preparations and conducting phone calls with other state officials.

Moskowitz also discusses the great toilet paper conundrum.

He also discusses the state’s challenges obtaining PPE and adequate testing supplies and looks back at passed policy that, in hindsight, could have been handled differently to prepare for a pandemic. But he cautions against Monday morning quarterbacking the pandemic.

Moskowitz also promotes American manufacturing, particularly for medical supplies, which he’s currently having to acquire from foreign countries.

Tune in for this can’t miss episode packed with insider insights to the state’s coronavirus response.

Special Guest: Jared Moskowitz.
