Seminar Description

Every business, regardless of size, is at risk of being negatively impacted by disaster. COVID-19 highlighted that reality and showed the need for all businesses to have plans and training in place to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from all hazards. This seminar is designed to teach business leaders and managers how to think about how all types of hazards can impact their business, and then the planning and training cycle to mitigate the risk of those hazards. It is designed specifically for business leaders and does not require prior emergency knowledge.

Zoom meeting details will be available for those who are not able to attend in person.
