Hospital Emergency Managers: the time is now.

Just wanted to check in and let you know that today has been a wakeup call about the preparedness steps that are needed to ensure that hospitals remain safe in the new environment and age of terrorism. While this course is advertised for "first responders" and is heavily attended by police, SWAT, fire personnel, and other public safety officials, representatives from hospitals are very welcomed and I would strongly encourage your attendance. We will be the first responders in any event targeting our facilities and we will need to be on the same page as everyone else in the homeland security world.

I will bring you more info from IRTB and continue to facilitate the conversations that we all need to be engaging in with respect to our emergency/terrorism planning and preparedness.

Stay safe
