The leaders of all five emergency service first-responder agencies will gather for a leadership roundtable discussion as part of a special broadcast of local radio show Tallahassee Talks with Brien Sörne to be broadcast on July 27, 2024 on two radio stations. As part of the annual multi-media information campaign entitled Tallahassee Prepared that runs throughout the year, the 2-hour-long show will originate from the Tallahassee-Leon County Consolidated Dispatch Agency and be presented on local radio stations Moose Magnificat internet radio streaming at MooseMagnificat.com , and Real Talk radio broadcasting at 93.3FM.

weather emergency policies, protocol, and procedures including departments and staffing, special events, any
operational or educational programs, and community accessible resources. Questions and issues received in
advance from Tallahassee and Leon County citizens will be addressed. Remarks from CDA Director David
Odom will open the discussion with topics such as the CDA's ongoing mission, staffing, and operations, and its
severe weather preparedness recommendations.
