That was the mindset of New York's county leaders, who within a couple of hours of a declared state of emergency, became the onsite incident commanders charged with protecting the lives and the health of families, friends, neighbors, and residents through the deadliest public health crisis in a century.

Our Darkest Hours provides a glimpse into the fear, struggle, triumph, and pain as leaders worked to protect people's lives and livelihoods.
