The CSMFO Podcast: Season 2 Episode 3 - Matt Hawkesworth 

By: CSMFO Communications Committee 

Episode 3 of the CSMFO Podcast features newly appointed Assistant City Manager and long-time Finance Director of the City of Pasadena, Matt Hawkesworth. Matt spoke with Co-Host, Jennifer Becker, about a topic that touched all of our hearts here in California and around the nation - Pasadena’s recent experience with the Eaton Fire. He covers everything from supporting employees during a disaster to the financial impacts of a wildfire to operating an EOC from the activation through the recovery phase. No matter how prepared your agency may be for a disaster, this is a discussion you do not want to miss.
