Each Friday we want you to meet a member of our team! Our team is comprised of interns, volunteers, and paid staff. Everyone on our team is a major contributor in making emergency mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery successful in Lee County! 

This week we are highlighting our Director, Rita Smith. Rita sets goals and expectations for our office to ensure all emergency and disaster resources are operationally ready at all times for both the citizens and first responders in Lee County. She additionally serves on committees, boards, and associations across Alabama to enhance emergency preparedness.
