Hosted by the State of Georgia Office of the Secretary of State, Georgia State Archives, the Office of Emergency Management, and the Georgia Technology Authority, the event will focus on four key topics -- identity management, procurement and distribution, records, and tagging, tracking and targeting -- and their role in supporting response, continuity of government services and recovery.
Dan Combs, Director of the NEPCC, said the Conference will facilitate sharing of a wide range of information leading to better response to emergencies and improved remediation of their effects.
"We encourage Federal, State and local government leaders as well as private sector experts to share their expertise and experience in dealing with disaster situations at the conference. Working together, we can develop a framework for sharing information, expertise and best practices for a coordinated and effective emergency response. These resources can then be shared across boundaries and organizations throughout the nation."
