Tom Fargione, or as known by most - Farge, is an emergency management legend. He was there for many of the nation's most significant disasters including the 9/11 World Trade Center response, Hurricane Katrina and all of the 2017 Hurricane Season just to name a few. Listen in as he shares his lessons learned in 31 years as a police officer in the State of New York and in his 20 years in emergency management. It is no surprise that he is known for his great leadership as he kicks off the podcast with his stories of finding the humanity in emergency management and his guidance to reduce suffering first and foremost. Listen to the end to hear about how Farge separates himself from what he does as an emergency manager and who he is as a person. And as always, thanks for listening to Stories for the Archives.
