The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) invites you to join the upcoming webinar Know Your Risk: Prepare your Organization and People for Hurricane Season on Thursday, June 22, 2017 – 2 to 3 p.m. (EDT).

  • Understand the hazards and your organization’s risk during hurricane season
  • Learn how to prepare your staff and clients before a hurricane makes landfall

  • The ideal housing units can be used anywhere from six to 18 months following a disaster and can be used in a variety of climates.
  • Participants can submit up to five power point slides to present. Presentations will be limited to 10 minutes or less.
  • This call for presentations does not imply or guarantee a contract or intent to purchase. This call is being conducted to identify diverse options that may be unknown to FEMA.
  • Presentations should be submitted no later than noon (eastern) on Monday, July 10. Presentation times and call-in information will be sent to those participating on July 11.
