Kiwanis August 6 Meeting Program: Bill Nauta from Chatham Borough presented Emergency Management

Bill Nauta (right in photo), Chatham Emergency Management Coordinator, spoke to Chatham-Madison Kiwanis Club about the preparations and planning for future emergencies like last year’s Sandy experience. He was introduced by John Eyre (left in photo).

Bill is not the “doer” during emergencies. That is the role of the Police Dept., Fire Dept., Emergency Squad, Red Cross, etc. Bill brings all the players together. He also helps find places for people displaced by emergencies. He discussed problems uncovered during Hurricane Sandy and steps taken to prepare for future problems.

The audience appreciated hearing about the detailed preparations that Chatham is making for future emergencies. To learn more, please visit the Chatham Office of Emergency Management website.
