ISSA Sacramento Valley Chapter Meeting – Friday, 04/19/2024 11:30a-1:00p “Community Disaster Preparedness”

Speaker: Dean Hipwell, President, Sacramento Region Citizen Corps Council (https://srccc.org) and Past President of ISSA Sacramento

Topic: Community Disaster Preparedness

Synopsis:
Part of cybersecurity is to prepare your organization for disasters. Part of disaster preparedness is to protect yourself, your family and your home from harm. In between your home and organization is your community. This presentation reviews key steps to consider when preparing your home and community for disasters.

Topics:
* Prepare yourself for disaster (based on recommendations from the Sacramento County Office of Emergency Services)
* Prepare your community for disaster (a review of volunteer emergency response organizations sanctioned by FEMA or other agencies of the federal government)

There will also be handouts available on “Scam Awareness” from the Federal Trade Commission, so you can share those materials with your friends and family.

(Presentation slides here.)
