This event qualifies for 1 CPEs
Last year's tornado season saw the deadliest December on record with more than 90 deaths and massive devastation across eight states. These tornados didn't spare anything in their path, with many businesses severely impacted. To understand if your business is prepared for the challenges a tornado, cyclone, or other significant storm brings, you can conduct tabletop exercises.
Tabletop exercises can be very effective because they help identify areas where changes or improvements may need to be made. They are also useful for many other scenarios such as cyber-attacks, violent intruder situations, supply chain issues, and product recalls to name a few.
Join this complimentary webinar as experts walk you through an example of what an engaging and impactful tabletop exercise looks like, as well as how it can help make your company bet ter prepared for a major weather emergency.
Specifically, this webinar will cover:
- What an effective and engaging tabletop exercise looks like
- A framework for designing and delivering your own tornado or other simulation exercises
- The importance of having access to timely and accurate intelligence
- The importance of proactively documenting event information
- Why you need a means to quickly communication internally and externally
