83rd Civil Command comes to Wilson County Government
83rd Civil Command comes to Wilson County Government
Recently Gordon Deno, Emergency Management Director, coordinated with the 83rd Civil Command from Fort Bragg for a Continuity of Operations assessment for Wilson County Government. The group worked to assess county government and provide feedback on a path forward with a Continuity of Operations Plan. Gordon and Rodney Dancy, Emergency Management, will be coordinating these efforts in the near future. A big thanks to Health, DSS, Finance and many others for a successful assessment. Another way Wilson County Government works to improve the lives of our citizens.
