In this episode of Muskegon County Municipalities at Work, host DJ Hilson interviews county Emergency Manager Renee Gavin, whose 20+ years of public safety experience—including law enforcement, EMS, and emergency planning—shape her vital leadership role in community preparedness and disaster response. Gavin explains how emergency management identifies local hazards, coordinates resources during major events like the June storms, and collaborates with regional partners, state agencies, and federal programs to ensure Muskegon County is ready for anything from severe weather to potential flooding linked to upstream dam systems. She also highlights the importance of personal and family preparedness, local training partnerships, and the behind-the-scenes work that keeps residents safe.
