664 - Disaster Planning For Extreme Weather

Extreme heat, wildfires, hurricanes, and more are driving huge changes for emergency managers like Chas Eby, the deputy executive director of the Maryland Department of Emergency Management. Eby talks with Stephanie Desmon about an “all-hazards” approach for emergency management agencies, and their work to be better problem solvers when it comes to what climate change is expected to bring in the future. They also discuss how to increase the capabilities of communities to make them more resilient.
