Strengthen Your Organization’s Ability to Rebound from Disaster
You know your organization needs a disaster plan. You may even have one done and ready to activate. But are you confident that your organization is truly resilient enough to support the needs of your employees, clients and students should disaster strike close to home? Will you be able to keep essential operations running and also assist your broader community as it works towards recovery?
Building a Disaster-Resilient Organization is a one-day conference designed to give you the tools and insight you need to keep your essential operations running following disaster, whether that be natural disaster, a public health scare or an act of violence. Sessions will cover both the basics of disaster planning and more advanced topics, such as private and public partnerships for overall community recovery and emergency management systems.
