The Senior Officials Workshop is for local-jurisdiction elected and appointed senior officials, and is also appropriate for staff from other community entities, both public and private, that are likely to be involved in a disaster response. Its purpose is to provide a forum to discuss strategic- and executive-level issues related to disaster preparedness, share proven strategies and best practices, and enhance coordination among officials responsible for emergency response to a disaster.
Participants receive an Executive Handbook outlining the Emergency Management framework (protection, preparedness, response, and recovery phases) as well as other key senior-level issues and discussions topics.
Major discussion topics include:
Roles and responsibilities and preparedness challenges- Domestic preparedness resources and how to leverage them for your community
- Homeland Security Strategic Planning as it relates to risk and needs assessment and the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for your jurisdiction
- Executive-level incident response and recovery considerations, including medical/public health, situational appraisal, incident management (ICS), mutual aid agreements, media relations, recovery and restoration processes, Federal assistance, and business/economic recovery
Instruction will be provided by:
- Walter Ulmer - President of Remlu Inc. Emergency Preparedness Planning
- Sam Gonzales - Oklahoma City Police Chief (ret.)
