This is the third podcast in our series of real-time discussions centering around the COVID-19 response in jurisdictions throughout the United States. In this session, we take a close look the response efforts of the Houston FD and the Houston PD with key members of their personnel: Assistant Chief Michael Mire and Deputy Chief Charles Martin from the Houston FD and Sgt James Turner from the Houston PD. Our discussion will explore the many struggles and triumphs experienced by both agencies and how the FD and PD have been able to combine their efforts and work together in this crisis. The Houston FD will also share their experience of successfully standing up their first Incident Management Team. Finally, we reflect on how their participation in Enhanced All-Hazards Incident Management / Unified Command (MGT314) course prepared their agencies for this response effort.
