On this episode of Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac welcomes back Kathy Fulton, Executive Director of the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN).

Kathy returns to finish the important conversation we started last time—this time with no technical hiccups. She shares the latest on ALAN’s role in disaster response and recovery, the challenges facing businesses and communities in the 2025 hurricane season, and how the private sector can step up as FEMA scales back.

We also highlight the Signal & Shield Camp Initiative—a nationwide campaign equipping more than 12,000 camps with NOAA Weather Radios to keep kids safe during severe weather.
