WSEMA Member Ted Buehner hosts a webcast on KIRO News Radio. He shared a recent interview with WSEMA member and Director of King County Emergency Management, Brendan McCluskey, about “What is Emergency Management?”
We are currently at 293 members!!!! If you know someone who isn’t a member, talk to them about joining! Maybe we can hit 300 before the conference!
