The Argus Foundation hosted a luncheon promoting emergency and natural-disaster awareness with supporters and government officials on Aug. 29.

The business-oriented nonprofit brought Kevin Guthrie, the director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, to its Meet the Minds luncheon to hear his insight on how natural disasters can affect local businesses. Executive Director Christine Robinson said Guthrie's perspective would be appreciated for the luncheon, given the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual threat from hurricanes and other potential disasters.

Guests mingled before sitting down for lunch and hearing words from Robinson and Guthrie.
