Firefighters Remember 9/11

To mark the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist acts, we pulled several articles from our archives to share.

  • In 2015, ICMA shared best practices and resources for managing the threat of terrorism in our communities today. 
  • Have a listen to this podcast from Local Gov Life. American University Professor Patrick Malone reflects on the leadership lessons he learned first hand in the wake of 9/11 and how he sees them being applied on a daily basis on the local government level.
