An annual reminder of the hazards hurricanes and tropical storms pose to the region

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has proclaimed this week “Hurricane Preparedness Week.”

The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) is highlighting the risks of tropical storms and hurricanes and urging people to take steps now to prepare.

WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Chris Besse, MEMA’s Public Information Officer.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
