“People have witnessed the arc of our story here locally. Following the murder of George Floyd, the subsequent unrest that we saw, we didn't just sit back on our hands. We did a whole lot of emergency preparation and work. We ran simulations, we conducted trainings, all culminating in a trip out to Emmitsburg, Maryland, where FEMA was headquartered. For their simulations, we practice these scenarios and this operation has been led by Director Sayre.” (07:52–07:57)
