In a noteworthy move aimed at enhancing public safety, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recently integrated a new seminar series into FEMA's online education program to address the realities of mass casualty events. The "Private Sector Preparedness Response and Recovery (PSPR2) Seminar Series," a key component in the Active Shooter: What You Can Do (IS-907 .A) curriculum, offers in-depth training to help companies and organizations prepare for and respond to such tragedies, as reported by the Oregon Office of Emergency Management.
The PSPR2 seminars, especially constructed for a business audience seeking to enhance their crisis-management skills, feature a slate of experts from varied sectors. These subject matter experts share insights and strategies honed from real-world experiences with catastrophic incidents. The adoption of this series aims to cement the beneficial outcomes resulting from collaboration between government bodies and private entities during emergencies.
These seminars encompass a 90-minute format wherein professionals discuss best practices across critical infrastructures, as detailed by the Oregon Office of Emergency Management. Such forums facilitate awareness and provide a plan of tools for organizations to handle the daunting complexities that follow in the wake of mass casualty incidents. It's a joint initiative, with heavyweight contributors like the American Red Cross and Albertsons Crisis and Business Continuity Management, among others.
