Strategic
Foresight Initiative (SFI) Community Members;
The Strategic Foresight Initiative (SFI) team
is scheduling a Webinar/Conference Call on Wednesday, September 26,
1:00 – 2:00 pm EST to discuss and explore the strategic needs classified as
“Dynamic Partnerships”:
1.
Empower
individuals, neighborhoods and communities to play a greater role throughout
all phases of disasters.
2.
Proactively
engage business in all emergency management phases and solicit its contribution
to policy development in light of the critical nature of private sector
capabilities.
3. Intensify disaster response collaboration and
planning with Canada and Mexico, recognizing scope for both national and local
actions.
4. Foster increased collaboration to ensure
appropriate use of the military to provide specialized capabilities or to
augment capacity in complex, overwhelming disaster incidents.
Jacqueline Yannacci, Community Resilience
Program Manager at the American Red Cross National Headquarters will present on
the Community Resilience Strategy, highlighting the organization’s work with
developing dynamic partnerships.
Daniel Hahn, MA, CEM, FPEM, Santa Rosa County
Plans Chief will introduce the Escarosa Business Continuity Initiative
that is focusing on developing active partnerships within the Escambia and
Santa Rosa County business community in Florida for enhancing disaster
resiliency and continuity.
As part of the conference call, the SFI team

solutions identified when implementing actions to meet the strategic needs.
