A little over two years layer the Coalition has won the key role as the business community’s interface to the regions emergency responders, has spread the word of disaster planning throughout the 13 counties of South Western Pennsylvania and launched several new programs unique in Pennsylvania designed to support our regions emergency responders in time of disaster.
