4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 From: "Terbush, Brian R (MIL)" <Brian.Terbush@xxxxxxxxxx> Greetings, I wanted to invite you to participate in a session for the Cities on Volcanoes 11 meeting this May: Blueprints for effective Partnerships, and Meet the Practitioners.â?? These sessions will be held in Volcanic eruptions often cross both geographical borders, and vertical borders within levels of government, and forming effective partnerships between these partner organizations before an eruption is vital in creating a quick response, sharing life-safety information, and maintaining public trust in all agencies involved. Blueprints for effective partnerships will present some international examples of times where working together worked well, and participants will distill that information down to a â??blueprint.â?? In the second part of this session, we will have several lightning talks, from the Emergency Management and Civil Defense side of volcano preparedness and response, where the speakers will then become panelists to answer questions. Please share this information with anyone you thin may be interested, especially those in the Civil Defense/Emergency Management world. The session abstract is on page 64 of the second circular for the conference http://files.convin.gr/cov11/Volc11_2nd%20Circular_FINAL.pdf Conference details and registration (Required to participate) can be found here: https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/volcanoes11/ If you are interested in giving a lightning talk, please contact me at brian.terbush@xxxxxxxxxx with the topic you would like to speak about. 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 ------------------------------
