Crisis Response and Disaster Resilience 2030
David J. Kaufman
Director, Office of Policy and Program Analysis
Federal Emergency Management Agency

FEMA has released the Crisis Response and Disaster Resilience 2030 report , which includes insights on the future role of emergency and disaster management; strategic needs and gaps the community will have to address; and a look into the emergency management community of 2030. The strategic needs, highlighted in the report, in particular – focused around essential capabilities, innovative models and tools, and dynamic partnerships – are intended to be a catalyst for leadership throughout the emergency management community and to prepare us, and the Nation at large, for whatever challenges and opportunities the future holds.

The findings and insights presented in this report are the result of an extensive community-wide effort, including more than 800 professionals, members of the academic community, and interested public and private sector stakeholders who have contributed to the Strategic Foresight Initiative (SFI).

We invite you to join Dave Kaufman, Director of the Office of Policy and Program Analysis at FEMA for a webinar to explore the SFI findings presented in the Crisis Response and Disaster Resilience 2030 report and to engage in an open discussion.

Please see the complete announcement, connection instructions, speaker biography, and related links at: http://www.emforum.org/SFI/moreinfo.htm. As always, please feel free to extend this invitation to your colleagues.

This educational opportunity is provided by the Emergency Information Infrastructure Project (EIIP).

Hello,

The Harvard School of Public Health Center for Continuing Professional Education offers a program, Radiological Emergency Planning: Terrorism, Security, and Communication, which I believe would be of great interest to members of The American Civil Defense Association. Would it be possible to inform your members of this program? Information on the program is below:

Radiological Emergency Planning: Terrorism, Security, and Communication
August 20 – 24, 2012
Boston, MA USA

https://ccpe.sph.harvard.edu/Radiological-Emergency-Planning

This program examines the latest principles and requirements to prepare for and respond to a radiological emergency and helps participants develop the skills necessary to effectively communicate with the media and public during crisis situations.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Peter J. Bretton
