William D. Wagoner, AICP

Consultant Trainer
Midwest/Northeast Exercise

William Wagoner is the Planning and Emergency Management Director for Livingston County, Michigan. In addition, he serves as an adjunct faculty member for the Division of Emergency Management Training Academy of the Michigan Department of State Police. He is also on the Michigan Hazard Mitigation Coordinating Council and is the immediate past chair of the Certified Emergency Manager Commission of the International Association of Emergency Managers.

The midwestern exercise is based on Wagoner's many years of experience conducting hazard-related training in Michigan. His course work focuses on the mitigation of flooding, tornadoes, and winter hazards that affect industrial communities. The scenarios used in this exercise should be useful in most of the northern states as well as some border states like Kentucky and West Virginia, which do not face coastal hazards.
