On June 4, 2021, I was invited to provide testimony to the Massachusetts Legislature Joint Committee on COVID-19 and Emergency Preparedness and Management Hearing on June 4, 2021 at an Informational Hearing on Hurricane and Natural Disaster Preparedness.


The Joint Committee on COVID-19 and Emergency Preparedness and Management convened an informational hearing at the start of the 2021 hurricane season as a means to get a status update on the Commonwealth’s preparedness, to create awareness for the public and encourage household disaster readiness.

  • Senator, Jo Comerford, Committee Co-chair
  • Representative William J. Driscoll, Jr., Committee Co-chair

Also providing testimony during this session were:
