Join us for Community Council on Tuesday, October 9 from 12:00-1:00 at First Presbyterian Church in Burlington, NC!
When disaster strikes, the response doesn’t end once the immediate danger has passed—the real work of recovery is just beginning. This panel brings together emergency management and disaster response professionals to share their firsthand experiences navigating disaster response and recovery.
Through powerful stories and practical insights, panelists will highlight the challenges faced during recent emergencies, the strategies that proved most effective, and the lessons learned that continue to shape preparedness efforts today. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to coordinate resources, communicate under pressure, and support communities in their most vulnerable moments.
Whether you’re a public safety professional, nonprofit leader, policymaker, or community member invested in resilience, this discussion will offer valuable takeaways to strengthen how we respond—together—when the next storm comes.

Kevin Turner, Emergency Management Director, City of Burlington
Chris Saul, Director of Emergency Management, Alamance County
