The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is pleased to invite you to the Restoring Flow of Private Sector Lifelines multi-day workshop taking place August 12, 13, and 18. Each day will run from 11:00AM-4:00PM ET.
In disasters, restoring community lifelines and developing contingency solutions is a critical role for emergency managers. Because the private sector manages immense capacity every day, actions by emergency managers to restore the flow of these supply chains are a key component of response and recovery. Developing relationships to understand private sector operations and information needs will pay dividends when disasters hit.
This multi-day workshop will introduce the key concepts for the restoration of private sector lifelines focusing on a different sector each day.
By the end of the workshop, participants will:
• Understand the basic components of the national power grid, food and fuel distribution supply chains.
• Identify strategies to build relationships with key private sector lifelines.
• Engage the private sector with their specific questions.
Who Should Participate?
The workshop is open to all State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Emergency Managers, Energy Officials, Private Sector Liaisons and private sector representatives.
