Capitol Weekly Podcast: The Master of Disasters, Mark Ghilarducci

We are joined this episode by California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services chief Mark Ghilarducci. Ghilarducci leads the state response to disasters of all kinds. Ghilarducci has extensive experience: he has served California governors since the Deukmejian administration and was the incident commander on the Oklahoma City bombing recovery effort. Capitol Weekly’s John Howard and Tim Foster asked him for his thoughts on the recent building collapse in Surfside, Florida as well as on California’s 2021 fire season.

Plus: Who had the #WorstWeekCA? Reporter Natalie Hanson joins us to explain what is happening on the Chico city council, which lost two councillors in the course of six days.
