CESA-IR Public /Private Sector Workshop Agenda
4/12 & 4/13 Mather Field – OES State Headquarters
Collaborating for effective emergency management – public and private sectors
The business models for public and private sectors have unique funding systems, however they have many like processes: 1) Emergency Response (fire, medical and law enforcement); 2) Evacuation; 3) Command Center Recovery; and 4) recovery of our response capability and our administrative business functions (city, agency, and county or private sector company). In some cases county agencies are providing special services for private sector companies and have devised new funding sources. Cities and counties have passed (via special elections) special assessments to fund life safety functions.There is one area that both entities (private and public) share risk and that is the administrative processes that provide critical Information Services. Each of the public and private entities have critical IT processes, that if there was a loss due to a disaster, could trigger an emergency communication failure during a critical response period. Disasters can also cause future financial effects upon that entity – a failure of the Justice Systems IT application could cause early release of prisoners, a failure of tax assessment systems could cause a loss of revenue, and a failure of a private sector inventory control systems could shut down a factory.This will be the first CESA Workshop to explore the synergy of recovery alternatives for IT distributed systems. We will spend over 3 hours of our workshop agenda on this topic. I look forward to your participation.
