The National Transportation Stakeholders Forum held their 2023 Annual Meeting in St. Louis, Missouri last month. Emergency Management Director Nelson Andrews Jr, is a member of the Tribal Radioactive Transportation Executive Committee who also had a meeting during this year’s forum. The committee is sponsored through the U.S Dept. of Energy. At the meeting, Director Andrews moderated a panel discussion titled, “Tribal/State Emergency Prep and Incident Response”. A scenario was facilitated on a spent nuclear fuel spill on a tribal reservation with limited resources and response capabilities. Nelson had two sessions to moderate with federal and state subject matter experts in the audience, the overall meeting was a way to get these parties understanding the disparities and limited funding structure and available resources when it comes to tribal emergency response needs.
