Training: Emergency Preparedness Academy 2016

Our Region. Our Risks. Our Response.

After a disaster, many affected businesses never reopen. For your organization’s survival--and to ensure the safety of your staff and associates--you need to be prepared for emergencies. The American Red Cross is here to help.

From cyber security to workplace violence, to natural disasters, learn how to mitigate and manage risks before disaster strikes. At our 4th Emergency Preparedness Academy join emergency planning and response leaders from around the Midwest to learn how to build a culture of preparedness.

Topics include:

• Workplace and School Violence Response: The Power of Threat Assessment Teams
• Panel Discussion: Christmas 2015 Flooding--How Preparedness Led to Unified Response
• Responding to Media Following an Emergency or Disaster

The Academy offers critical information to meet the interests of large and small businesses, schools, government agencies, universities, healthcare, faith-based, and nonprofit organizations. All registration fees include a continental breakfast, lunch, snacks throughout the day and parking.
