Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Montgomery County fire officials search the smoky rubble of an apartment building after a blast injures 30 and displaces 100 in Silver Spring.
Local municipalities do their best to prevent emergency events. But when they do happen, like the recent deadly explosion at an apartment building in Silver Spring, local government has to respond quickly and effectively to address the short term and long term impact of the disaster –from site clean up to shelter and food for victims. Kojo sits down with a Montgomery County official to discuss how the government responds, and what role it plays, in the wake of unpredictable tragedy.
Guests
- John J. (Jay) Kenney Chair of Mass Care, Shelter, Housing and Human Services, Montgomery County Emergency Management Group, Montgomery County, Maryland
