DRI Webinar - The Case for Business Continuity Training in State Emergency Management

With natural disasters on the rise and cyber attacks on the nightly news, are state governments ready to meet the challenges and risks of the modern world? For the state of Maryland, the answer to that question is a resounding YES! In this live webinar, hear how Maryland state emergency managers are taking a uniquely effective approach to improving resilience: Training! A two-year program aims to increase resiliency by cross-training staff in business continuity, IT disaster recovery, and cyber resilience. Learn from Maryland OEM's Brian Bauer and Ken Maloney how it’s working, as well as how this approach also benefits both the private sector and public-private partnership initiatives. Joining the conversation is Alex Abdun-Nabi, Emergency Preparedness Manager for Capital Metro (CAPMET), Austin's public transportation system. He'll be on hand to discuss his experiences incorporating private sector resilience practices into public sector operations.
