**UPDATE** Audio of the meeting has been added.

Overview Disaster Recovery EM DPS by Bobby Coggins on Scribd

Background
Macon Media is restarting a project called NCGA Project to provide daily briefings on proposed legislation that was working its way through the North Carolina General Assembly. A Facebook Page called NC General Assembly Watch has been established to assist in the distribution of the content. [LINK]

The goal of this project is to provide an easier access to information on what the state legislature is doing. As time goes on, coverage of the State Executive and Judicial Branches will be added.

The general format of news delivery will be to provide a brief background summary, followed by links to the previous days activities. Then a table will be posted with information on the various committees or general sessions that are scheduled to take place. Whenever possible, links to committee websites, bills, reports and where you can listen live will be included. If Macon Media has been able to listen to the live audio of meetings, a copy will be posted so you can listen or download it to listen to later.
