Homeland Security is a concerted national effort to prevent and respond to terrorist attacks and natural disasters within the United States. Reducing America’s vulnerability to devastating incidents and improving recovery time continues to remain a top priority. Recent disasters such as pandemic flu, homegrown radicalism and natural disasters have demonstrated that all levels of government, the private sector and nongovernmental organizations must work together to prepare for, respond to and recover from any incident. To address the security threats of today and tomorrow, The Performance Institute proudly invites you to attend The 2008 Homeland Security Summit, March 12-14, 2008 in Arlington, VA.
Comply with Federal Preparedness Funding Initiatives
Through the Department of Homeland Security, initiatives to improve incident management continue to take precedence. This summit will address key updates to the National Incident Management System and take a look at the future of funding and what it may mean for your agency. Ensure your organization has all of the basic elements in place as well as the most up to date security and response measures to comply with federal funding guidelines.
Learn About New Practices in Credentialing and Compliance
One of the most important aspects of planning is ensuring that your organization is compliant with the latest mandates. The summit will showcase best practices in complying with the NIMS credentialing process. Also learn how to integrate resource typing into your emergency management plan. The Summit will feature a number of proven and innovative strategies to assist your agency.
Interactive Training Simulations: Face an Unknown Emergency!
Often emergency response agencies do not know what awaits them in a crisis situation. However, agencies can prepare for virtually any threat with effective incident management, a well-trained staff and an emergency response system. At this event, you will have the opportunity to participate in table-top scenarios that put you face to face with unknown emergency situations.
Please join us in this unique opportunity to gather federal, state, and local first responders. Learn best practices in incident prevention and management, discuss updates about NIMS, hear about the timely threats of pandemic diseases and natural disasters and discover issues dealing with procedure and preparedness.
