ABOUT THIS EVENT
This special educational training event is for all first responders (law enforcement, corrections personnel, firefighters, EMS, 911 dispatchers), allied emergency responders, government officials and communities of practice. Natural and man-made disasters will always be a part of our world. These events are unavoidable. Public safety officials are taxed with additional responsibility when disaster strikes, and they perform duties beyond their standard scope of practice.There are best practices, lessons learned and resources that exist to aid short-term and long-term disaster recovery. This educational training symposium is will shed light on available resources and ideas to consider as new strategies for rebuilding your communities after disaster and even your own teams. Attendees will walk away with several educational resources, tips and ideas that they can apply in their agency. Follow our event updates on social media: #IPSADC |
