Russell County Emergency Management Director HM Bottom was inducted
into the Kentucky Emergency Managers Association Hall of Fame on Thursday night
during the association’s annual conference in Louisville.
Bottom has been the local emergency manager for 26 years and
the association honored him last night with a plaque and standing ovation in
front of his family. Bottom’s latest accolade adds to his collection as during
2014-15 he was named volunteer fire chief of the year by the Kentucky
Association of Fire Chiefs.
