BCP - The Next Generation: Where are we going and how will we get there?
BCP, while on longer in its infancy has certainly not attained full maturity as a profession. This presentation will focus on the issues and dynamics that will be faced as contingency planning evolves from a "field" to a 'profession."
From Planning to Practical will serve as a catalyst to discuss creative approaches in strategic plan execution and pitfall avoidance. Attendees will be led to critically (honestly) evaluate their existing plans, organizational resillience and resource capabilities, which will set the stage for future plan development.
Donald Byrne, CBCP, North River Solutions

Sunday, July 8th, from 9 AM to Noon.
How Information Saves Lives The emergency management industry leaves too much to chance and makes too many dangerous assumptions by defining emergency response communications within narrow parameters as duties performed by public information officers and by technology telecommunications specialists. This presentation names these assumptions and then challenges them by identifying how they contribute to immense gaps in the communications process; outlining a new paradigm for emergency response communications; and providing practical exercises and tools to develop emergency response communication skills.
Monday, July 9: 2:45-3:45 PM
Building Resilient Communities One Organization at a Time Communities are comprised of many types of organizations - each of which support or contribute to the health and resiliency of that community. In order for the community as a whole to be resilient and viable, each one of the organizations within that community needs to be able to provide their particular goods and / or services - no matter what challenges the world puts before them. This presentation will explore the elements of a resilient community and ten disciplines of the Resiliency Standard. We will identify the elements necessary for developing a resilient organization - whether public, private industry, or government.

Organizational Risk Management: A Safety Policy by any Other Name Safety policies are strongly endorsed in the workplace, be it physical, civil or personal. These are actually risk management plans mitigating the impact of certain events. Often, BC planners have a difficult time "selling" the BCP to others within the organization. This presentation will present BCP as a hybrid safety policy and, as such, must be endorsed and enforced by all levels within the organization.
