Monier recently visited Melbourne Australia where he was the keynote speaker and panelist during the Australian State of Victoria's Emergency Management Conference. The purpose of the meeting was to provide an overview of Louisiana's Emergency Management Structure and discuss planning and operational challenges for the State of Louisiana.
