FEMA Think Tank Save the Date
Innovation Every Emergency Manager Should Know About
Please save the date and join FEMA Deputy Administrator Richard Serino for the next FEMA Think Tank conference call on July 18, 2013, from San Francisco, California, to have an engaging conversation on innovations for emergency management.
The time of the conference call, the call-in number and captioning instructions will be provided in a follow up advisory.
The FEMA Think Tank is a forum to engage the whole community, connect resources and share best practices, and develop solutions to the challenges we face in emergency management. Featured topics have included disaster survivor experiences; innovative efforts during Hurricane Sandy response and recovery; new technologies in emergency management; disability integration; and integrating healthcare, public health and emergency management.
This month’s call will provide the opportunity to discuss innovations that emergency management should know about, including the constructive integration of existing, new, and forward thinking innovations that improve a product or service in unexpected ways. The goal is to take innovations that are not necessarily associated with emergency management and relate them to emergency management in order to improve the way we do response, recovery, preparedness, and mitigation.
The FEMA Think Tank has generated thousands of ideas and comments on the online forum. Additionally, hundreds of individuals and groups participate in the Think Tank calls in person, by conference call, or through social media channels. Participants of the conference calls include federal, state, tribal, territorial, and local emergency managers, first responders, and others concerned about helping our communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. The calls are productive and informative discussions which have reinforced the importance of bringing the whole community together to develop ideas, best practices, and connect resources with needs.
Before our next call, we encourage you to visit the online forum at www.fema.gov/thinktank to submit ideas on innovation and comment on others stories and topics.
FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards
