Floods to fires: Grand's emergency management plans for the worst

Floods, fires and public health emergencies are just a few of the hazards that have hit Grand County in recent years. Local emergency management is now looking for public input on a plan to mitigate natural and manmade safety threats. Plus, the largest spill of radioactive material in U.S. history occurred 44 years ago in northern New Mexico. Members of the Navajo Nation are commemorating the event as they advocate for more clean up of uranium mining debris. And later, Utah Governor Spencer Cox is using his platform at the National Governors Association to promote his ‘disagree better’ campaign.
