S5, E4: April 29, 2025 Lookback: Response, Recovery, and Resilience
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
April 29, 2025 is a day many in our community won’t forget.
In this special lookback episode, we sit down with partners from City Utilities and members of our Emergency Operations Center team to reflect on the severe weather that impacted our area and the coordinated response that followed.
From restoring essential services to managing information and resources in real time, this episode takes listeners behind the scenes to hear how agencies worked together during one of the most significant weather events our community has faced in recent years.
Through firsthand experiences and thoughtful reflection, we explore the challenges, teamwork, and lessons learned that continue to shape how we prepare for future emergencies.
