A PRIVATE - PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP How Can We Help Businesses Respond / Recover from Disasters? 2013 State of Florida Public-Private Sector Disaster Preparedness Summit Orlando, Florida
OUR SPEAKERS Tom Serio – Chairman Verizon Wireless Rick Berman – Vice Chairman Restoration Contractors Group Kathie Kearney – Secretary/Treasurer NCCI Holdings
OUR VISION To ensure the South Florida private-public sector is prepared for, responds to and recovers from natural and manmade disasters through collaboration, coordination of business, non-profit and governmental resources.
State of Florida Division of Emergency Management
“One of the goals of the 2013 Summit is to continue to foster communication between the county, private sector, and State’s emergency management team. All stakeholders must come together prior to a disaster and discuss those barriers which stand in the way of the private sector returning to work.”
Department of Homeland Security “Partnership between the public and
private sectors is essential, in part because the private sector owns and operates approximately 85% of the nation's critical infrastructure”
FEMA – National Preparedness Goal
“Recognizing that preparedness is a shared responsibility, it calls for the involvement of everyone—not just the government—in preparedness efforts. By working together, everyone can keep the nation safe from harm and resilient when struck by hazards, such as natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and pandemics”
