CMC OEM COORDINATOR SPEAKS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

Avalon Mayor and Cape May County Emergency Management Coordinator Martin Pagliughi delivered the keynote address at the National Preparedness Month Fair for key United States Senate staff and national emergency management leaders in Washington, DC on Friday. Pagliughi delivered the address to over 100 staff members inside the Hart Senate Office building. Pagliughi was selected to deliver the keynote presentation as a result of the Borough of Avalon’s response during Hurricane Sandy and Avalon’s decades-long approach to storm mitigation and emergency management preparedness. This year’s Fair attracted the largest crowd in event history, according to event organizers.
