When describing your county's Emergency Management communication strategy, the last thing you want is for it to be defined as "...weighed, ...measured, and...found wanting."

Emergency Manager Ashley Ahlquist from Yavapai County, Arizona knows this well and has applied it to the county's social media and messaging efforts.  

In this episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, Ashley discusses how those in charge of EM communications need to always be looking ten steps ahead, and embracing modern messaging methods to relate to their audience, AKA County residents.

She also shares how her county is preparing for this Election Day, and how she is hoping it will be more "boring" than the leadup has been.
