When: May 12, 2010 -- 12:00 Noon Eastern
EMForum.org is pleased to host a one hour presentation and interactive discussion Wednesday, May 12, 2010, beginning at 12:00 Noon Eastern time (please convert to your local time). This program will challenge several current operational paradigms for emergency and homeland security leaders by re-examining "The Four Essentials of Life: Communications, Transportation, Power and Water."
The objective of the presentation is to open dialogue about the necessity of re-framing the model we have about our understanding of how these key four aspects of the "emergency management world" really operate, and the necessity of understanding and integrating human behavior into the design of our emergency management response.
Our guest will be Garry L. Briese, Vice President/Co-founder of The Center for New Media & Resiliency, and a Principal in the professional services and consulting company Briese and Associates. Mr. Briese previously served as Regional Administrator for FEMA Region 8 and as Executive Director of the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) from 1985 to 2007. He also served as Executive Director of the Florida College of Emergency Physicians, and has over 36 years' experience in all levels of emergency services including local, state, national and international.
