Disasters, Debris and Beyond: A Conversation with Ashbritt

When Hurricane Andrew impacted Florida in 1992, it exposed deficiencies in our country’s disaster response processes.  Since that time, counties have endeavored to strengthen their response and recovery capabilities, especially in the area of logistics and debris management. Given the scale of disasters in Florida, response and recovery cannot be executed without partners, including those in the private sector.  To understand how private vendors are integrated into county emergency management, in this podcast were are joined by Ashbritt CEO Brittany Perkins Castillo, who discusses a broad range of topics that highlight Ashbritt’s commitment to counties before and after disasters strike.
