If the taps run dry, our knights in shining armor will be accredited!
November 28, 2007 at 2:44 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsGov. Sonny Perdue raised a glass today in honor of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, those we-don’t-exist-till-you-need-us folks who ride, driving water tankers, into the very depths of hell to bring us aid in times of woe. Like if the taps ran out because of that historic drought we’re going through.
The agency received a five-year accreditation from the Emergency Management Accreditation Program for its ability to “coordinate preparedness and response activities for natural and man-made disasters ranging from tornadoes to terrorism.”
What say you, Gov. Perdue?
“GEMA’s accreditation places Georgia in an elite group,†said Governor Sonny Perdue. “By meeting the stringent national emergency management program standards, Georgia has demonstrated its national leadership in emergency preparedness efforts.â€
Word. Let’s just hope we don’t have to put them to use.
