...0ur speaker was Todd Casto, Director of Taunton Emergency Management. Todd spoke about the work he has done in the department since joining 8 months ago. He shared that the idea of emergency management is focused on augmenting local police and fire, frequent risk assessments, and public outreach. He shared an Emergency Go-Bag handout (see blow) as a helpful tool for people to educate themselves about, and also offered to review and plans a local business may have to ensure that the city is as prepared as possible. Thanks to Todd for joining us, and for his friendly and interesting presentation.
