I am one member of a five person board. The opinions I express on this forum are mine only, and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the Escambia County Staff, Administrators, Employees, or anyone else associated with Escambia County Florida. I am interested in establishing this blog as a means of additional transparency to the public, outreach to the community, and information dissemination to all who choose to look. Feedback is welcome, but because public participation is equally encouraged, appropriate language and decorum is mandatory. Although this is not my campaign site for re-election--sometimes campaign related information will be discussed, therefore in an abundance of caution I add the following : Political Advertisement Paid for and Approved by Jeff Bergosh, Republican, for Escambia County Commissioner District 1

Escambia Youth Commission Learns About Escambia County's Emergency Management Department

The Members of the 2019-2020 Escambia County Youth Commission tour our county's Public Safety Facility January 21, 2019

The members of the Escambia County Youth Commission toured our county's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) yesterday evening.

Thanks go out to Laura Coale, Debbie Kenney, and newly appointed Emergency Management Director Eric Gilmore for facilitating the visit and giving these local students some valuable insight into the operation of our emergency management department.

Staff gave the tour and explained all the things our EOC coordinates during emergencies such as hurricanes, fires, and other natural and man-made disasters (to include assisting the US Navy during the recent terrorist attack aboard NAS Pensacola). Staff also showed them around the Public Safety Facility and described the inner-workings of these departments in detail. The emphasis was to show the effort and work that county staff put in to insure the safety and well-being of citizens.

Thanks to staff and all who assisted with this visit!
