Every time I meet someone new on this podcast, it's always a treat. Everyone has a story and I'm usually amazed at the experiences they've had. This week's guest is no exception. Especially when one considers the type of professional experiences this guest has had. What is most amazing to me is that Jeff Jelinek, who you'll meet in this week and next week's podcasts, works in a field which is fraught with stress. He prepares for emergencies and disasters. Things that most of us want to pretend will never happen to us. But in Jeff life, everytime there's a storm he's got to be on alert. Oh joy, what fun.
Jeff Jelinek has been the Emergency Management Director for Sauk County for the past 16 years. Jeff’s responsibility is to prepare Sauk County by planning, training, and coordination between agencies. Prior to his current position, Jeff was the Bioterrorism Education and Training Officer with the State of Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services. Jeff also spent 13 years working for the Wisconsin Department of Corrections in numerous positions. He has been involved in numerous emergency response operations giving him the knowledge and experience to train others on effective command and control.
