EMForum.org http://www.emforum.org/ is pleased to host a one hour presentation and interactive discussion August 12, 2009, beginning at 12:00 Noon Eastern time (please convert to your local time). Our topic will be the FEMA Gap Analysis Program (G.A.P.), which seeks to improve operational readiness by identifying and reducing disaster response shortfalls at all levels. Originally piloted with the participation of the hurricane-vulnerable states, the program has recently begun the process of nationwide implementation.
Our guest will be Paul K. Schwartz, Chief of Operational Integrity with FEMA's Disaster Operations Directorate. Mr. Schwartz has been directly responsible for developing and managing the G.A.P., and was awarded the 2008 FEMA Administrator's Award for his efforts. His federal government career spans more than 35 years, including 3 years with DHS HQ, and nearly 30 years with the U.S. Customs service, prior to joining FEMA in 2006.
Please join us. As always, feel free to extend this invitation to your colleagues. Please see the <http://www.emforum.org/vforum/090812.htm >
