Welcome to WPFC Podcasting! This is a weekly look at news, information and the people in and around Pike County! During and following World War II, our country was on high alert and prepared for potential attacks. President Franklin Roosevelt established the Office of Civil Defense which prepared our communities not only for those potential attacks, but also to coordinate medical, health and protective measures. Then came the cold war and the Civil Defense Act of 1950. The program evolved and over the years the program shifted toward general emergency management. The name changed to the Emergency Management Agency and the program, the world, continues to evolve! We have two guests today, one is the Pike County Emergency Management Agency Director, who also administers out 911 Emergency call center, Kyler Henry, who is somewhat new to this position, but he has a mentor. Matthew Goebel who is the director of the EMA for neighboring Warrick County.
