On January 3, 2022, a major snowstorm pounded several Eastern states dumping more than a foot of snow in some places, stranding hundreds of drivers along I-95 in Virginia for more than 24 hours and leaving more than 300,000 people in the region without power.

As the Chief Regional Coordinator at the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, Andy John was on the frontlines of the effort to get drivers safely off the road, and helping those who were left without power for multiple days.

On this week’s Disaster Tough Podcast, Andy shares his experiences from that day and the lessons in readiness learned for Emergency Managers and the public alike.
