10 a.m. Attainium Corporation will provide a workshop on emergency preparedness and crisis management which will include an interactive disaster training seminar. The customized simulation is designed to put participants in the throes of real-life disaster situations as they unfold. From awareness, to preparation, mitigation, response and recovery, this session will help participants assure that, no matter what the crisis, they can continue to provide services, operate and protect their facilities, and minimize the risk to their organizations. The simulation was developed to reinforce the importance of being prepared and giving participants the opportunity to identify contingencies they hadn’t previously thought about. The presenters have personal expertise in management training for disaster preparedness.
