Winston Churchill once said, “To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.”

At Georgetown University in Washington D.C., Director of the Office of Emergency Management, Marc Barbiere works hard every day to make sure that his department is ready and prepared if and when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder to respond to an emergency situation.

In this episode, Marc talks with Disaster Tough host and fellow Hoya, John Scardena about what Emergency Management looks like at a major university like Georgetown in a large city such as Washington D.C.
