Derek Dowsett is the Producer of the County Seat. Now entering his 11th season of the program, he has received what he considers a "Crash Course" in County Government.

Highlights:

1:24 How can you prepare for a crisis?

8:50 What is the hierarchy or response?

15:31 What to expect after a disaster?

23:46 Upcoming preparedness events

Did you know that emergency preparedness at home only covers you and your family for half the time that a disaster could strike?

This weekend on the County Seat, Derek Dowsett visits with an individual who is an example of true preparedness. It may seem like a lot of work to keep a week’s worth of food stocked in your office, having an extra set of hiking boots in the car trunk, or keeping a 72 hour bug out bag in your bed room door; but after talking to someone who has lived through a 7.7 earthquake it become very clear that there are a number of daily essentials we take for granted.

Our panel discussion will look into how local governments prepare for coming disasters, and what we should expect in the aftermath of a major event.

Tune in to ABC4UTAH Sunday Morning at 8:30am on Sunday for an edition of the County Seat that is packed full of information that maybe you haven’t considered in your own emergency planning.
