1. Emergency Plan Activation
2. Employee Activation
3. Mutual Aid Support
4. Emergency Management and Coordination
5. Man-made Emergencies
6. Resoration of essential business functions
7. Restoration of Computer and Communication Systems
8. The Problem with some Emergency Simulation Training


Not only are these issues addressed, but procedures and solutions are recommended. For organizations that have minimal plans, the proposed training can be the basis for developing an effective response plan.




PREPARING PUBLIC AGENCIES FOR FEMA TRAINING


When dealing with FEMA, every Public Agency should be in the position of receiving all the money it deserves as rapidly as possible.While the Public Agency does not control the FEMA process,the agency can directly contol
both how much money it gets and 60 days of the process.


Marci Lopez, with nearly ten(10) years of experience as a FEMA Public Assistance Officer and Public Assistance Coordinator, is prepared to show Public Agencies how to easily achieve the goals identified above. His experience has indicated the following:


1. Most Public Agencies do not get all the money they deserve.
2. Most Public Agencies do not know how to get their money up to 60 days sooner.
3. Many Public Agencies worry that their future cost estimates may be under-estimated


This information is so valuable that many Public Agencies have chosen to include the Training notes in their Emergency Response Plans.
