Glen Motto talks with Ed Leonard, Emergency Management Coordinator of Northampton County, about how Cape Charles residents can prepare for natural and man-made disasters. Leonard outlines the county’s emergency preparedness program, including maintaining a 72-hour self-sufficiency plan, signing up for Everbridge emergency alerts, and using technology like Starlink for communication during crises. Leonard also discusses partnerships with Accomack County, the Red Cross, and local volunteer fire departments. We find out how new drone footage gives first responders eyes on the ground right after a storm. (co.northampton.va.us)
