September is Emergency Preparedness Month. Whether you have a plan or not, you won’t want to miss this webinar. About 50% of organizations don’t have a fully documented emergency plan. Half of the organizations that do have plans have reported that their plan may not be very effective.

Join Patrick Flemming of the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security as he discusses what organizations should be thinking about as they begin to create or review their emergency preparedness plans.

You’ll also hear from Bruce Baker, Executive Director of CHEER who created an emergency plan for the entire community of Long Branch in Silver Spring following a devastating explosion.
