State of Crisis: Nevada Leaders Use the National Guard to Combat COVID-19
Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic required the coordination of resources at both the municipal and state level. In this episode of Leading Las Vegas, we focus on the state of Nevada’s efforts to combat the virus. We interview Caleb Cage, Director of Nevada’s COVID-19 response, and Colonel Justin Galli, who served as the liaison from Governor Sisolak’s office to the National Guard in Nevada.
Our guests in this episode discuss innovative ways that Nevada adapted its COVID response, from both a top-down and bottom-up approach. In particular, they discuss challenges arising from working with both federal and local partners, and how those challenges were overcome in unique ways, such as moving state agencies, including the Division of Emergency Management, under the National Guard. They also discuss how an individual on the front line was able to develop impactful solutions to protect Nevada citizens.
