CCTA Communication in Crisis Conference
- May 21 and 22, 2019
- Knoxville Hilton
- 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.
Tennessee Homeland Security District 2 received funding to develop and implement regional approaches for enhancing preparedness for complex coordinated terrorist attacks. One of the goals of this program is to enhance communication with the public during a disaster. Getting the right information, to the right people, at the right time is both imperative and challenging in the age of digital communication.
The conference is open to anyone involved with providing information to the public during a disaster. The conference brings together experts from around the US and will focus on the delivery of emergency information to the whole community through clear and accessible methods.
Plenary sessions will feature lessons learned from large scale events and breakout sessions will offer a variety of training on topics ranging from the mechanics of information sharing through IPAWS and EAS to crafting effective emergency messages for social media.
There is no cost to attend.
The Communication in Crisis Conference is funded through the US Department of Homeland Security Complex Coordinated Terrorist Attack Grant and State Homeland Security Grant.
