How Do You Know? \nThe session description is as follows: \nToday\, 80% of the value of corporate assets has shifted from physical to virtual. Accordingly\, the resulting business risk has increased dramatically over the last two decades. Corporations face accelerating\, complex\, sophisticated cyber-breach attacks with expanding business impacts. Do you know your information assets? Understand why they are targeted? Recognize the warning signs? How have you adapted your emergency and business continuity program to address these escalating human risks from your employees\, suppliers\, and customers? \nA fire will not destroy your company. A cyber breach can. A cyber breach impacts your company’s relationship with your clients\, places your brand and reputation under attack\, and has catastrophic economic impacts to both your company and your clients. A cyber breach is a business problem\, not an IT problem. \nYour company’s IT resources will address the technical information security issues. You and your department have a critical leadership opportunity to empower your company’s employees in protecting your information assets\, recognizing a breach at onset\, mitigating the impacts\, and managing the business response. Your existing plans provide the crisis response foundation and execution needed before\, during\, and after a cyber breach. IT should handle the technology response. You should lead the business response. \nIn the event of a Breach\, an organization must have a Cyber Breach Response Plan to address the overall business issues beyond the IT problem. This plan should be detailed\, identify the warning signs\, document the actions required\, assign responsibilities\, and confirm the critical communications needed. This presentation will focus on these critical elements and strategies needed to protect your overall business\, brand\, and clients as a result of a breach. Learn what you must do now. \nWho should attend?\n\nEmergency Managers\nEH&S Managers\nBusiness Continuity Managers\nFacilities Managers\nSecurity Managers\nOperations Managers\n\n\nSecure your spot for the 3rd annual conference. \nThe conference fee includes continental breakfast and lunch.

This year’s conference will be held from July 11-14 at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Miami. \nFirestorm President/COO/Co-Founder\, Jim Satterfield will be attending the conference and presenting four sessions focused on the theme of Every Crisis is a Human Crisis. While Firestorm® uses this phrase to focus the impacts of disasters\, crises\, and violence on people\, it also applies to understanding the likelihood and immediacy of events. Whether violence or cyber-bullying\, there are warning signs and indicators. Missing recognition of behaviors of concern or failing to listen to what is being said empowers escalation to violence. Knowing before the gun comes to school is a critical intelligence planning responsibility for every school. The earlier a problem is detected\, the less impact it will have. \nIt should be the aim of every school to create a culture where safety from violence is a common goal of both teachers and school leadership.  To achieve such a culture\, warning signs must be recognized and understood; everyone must know how to report behaviors of concern; there must be procedures in place to investigate when there are concerns; and trained school employees must know when to conduct a behavioral risk assessment and have the necessary resources in place to do so. \nAttendees to the Firestorm sessions will receive a one year license for the Firestorm Behavioral Risk and Threat Assessment Program (BeRThA®) at no cost. \nThe four sessions are as follows: \n\nActive Shooter – How do we stop the madness?\nWhile there are historic statistics around school/workplace violence\, restating them will not solve the violence problems. This session will focus on the human element solutions. \nWhether workplace violence stems from a current or former student or employee\, an unknown assailant\, or an employee’s spouse\, many incidents are foreseeable and/or preventable. Too often\, management is untrained and ill-equipped to recognize a developing situation\, and therefore is unable to take appropriate action. \nThe session will address actionable steps to take now: \n\nBehavioral Risk and Threat Assessment Program Components\nPredictive Intelligence Network Design\nCase Study Analysis of Violence Behaviors\n\n\nSexting & Bullying Test Exercise – How do you recognize and address behaviors of concern? \nStudies show that young men repeatedly exposed to pornography are more likely to objectify women\, and young women who view pornography are more likely to self-objectify and tolerate sexual harassment from men. \nSexting has serious consequences not only for the person taking and sending the photos\, but also for the person on the receiving end. Schools must have a plan for when sexting occurs. School leadership and teams must consider the emotional consequences of sexting and the legal ramifications as well. \nIn this exercise\, we will simulate an event and encourage dialogue related to the emotional and legal consequences of sexting\, such as: \n\nEmbarrassment and humiliation\nBullying\nEnd of friendships\nGuilt and shame\nObjectification\nFeelings of hopelessness\nExposure to adult\, sexual predators\nCriminal or other charges for child pornography\nSex offender registry\nParental exposure to legal consequences\nChildren and Family Services involvement\n\n\nBenchmark Your Plan Preparedness / Personal Plan Review Session – How do we know if we are ready?\nBRING YOUR PLAN – THE GROUP WILL REVIEW & ANALYZE STRENGTHS AND GAPS. Verify that your program meets best practices and standards. Discover the gaps in your plans before issues occur. The analysis results in the identification of specific enhancements for: leadership requirements\, decision processes\, command and control operations\, emergency response\, procedures\, streamlined communication techniques and facility/equipment upgrades. \nPreparedness is a continuous improvement process. You will learn a high-level DIY Benchmark process. Your school community looks to your school leadership to understand what needs to be done to assure that your students are safe. Unless your plans are aligned to best practices\, actionable\, documented\, trained\, and tested\, your program will fail. \n\nIntelligence Network Exercise – How do you know what you don’t know?\nSocial media is not random\, it is targeted. There are threats and risks you can identify before they become crises\, if you listen and look. People know things – and when they know\, they talk. Today\, people talk on social media. Initial threats or risk behaviors are frequently shared or observed on social media. What happens tomorrow is on social media today. \n\nRegistration and Conference details: \n  \n\nRegular Registration:  February 16 – May 31\, 2016.  Regular registration fee: $425.\nLate Registration:  June 1\, 2016 or later.  Late registration fee:  $475.\nRegister here\nConference Schedule\n\n  URL:https://www.firestorm.com/event/renweb-2016-power-conference/ LOCATION:InterContinental Hotel\, 100 Chopin Plaza\, Miami\, FL\, 33131\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160621T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160621T111500 DTSTAMP:20260531T172737 CREATED:20160226T185910Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160923T181501Z UID:7983-1466505000-1466507700@www.firestorm.com SUMMARY:The University of Alabama and Firestorm: Crisis Conversation DESCRIPTION:You must register via GoToWebinar for this event at this URL: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2413654894900631309 \nIn today’s instant media and digital landscape\, how much time do you have to respond to a risk or threat? None. You must identify these threats before they become crises. Your company’s exposures are unique. Your intelligence network design must be customized to address your identified risk profile. Intelligence is not a just a Google search or a single piece of information. Waiting until it is too late is not an option. Your Leadership must know BEFORE NOW\, not afterwards. \nThis webinar is a mid-year crisis check-in.

The current assumptions about an outbreak’s duration push the boundaries of most existing absence from work policies. The strain on every aspect of daily life – from the delivery of goods and services to the support of the national infrastructure – will be tested. Organizations must thoroughly examine and test their outbreak and communicable illness response plans\, management practices and policies\, and test\, refine and implement policies that address the long timeline of an illness event. \nThe current Zika Virus is an excellent example of an insect borne disease that mimics other insect borne illnesses and can create panic and confusion. Scientists expect that clusters of Zika virus outbreaks will occur this summer in the continental United States with the potential to affect up to 30 states\, as far north as Washington\, DC\, Philadelphia\, and New York City. The majority of steps needed to prepare for this risk are operational. \nIn this web-based\, two-hour stress test\, our expert panel led by Firestorm President Jim Satterfield will test your team’s response to the potential impacts of a disease outbreak including impacts on physical infrastructure\, lost work\, lost revenue\, lost wages and lost personnel. In a pandemic\, everyone feels the impact whether they become infected or not. \n \nSchedule your entire team and join us to test your current plan to shore up strengths and identify and address weaknesses. \nJoin Jim along with industry experts\, Dr. Donald Donahue JR.\, DHEd\, MBA\, FACHE\, Dr. Steve Cunnion and Katrin “Kathy” Schatz (representing Jackson Lewis P.C.)\, for this high-powered session. \n  URL:https://www.firestorm.com/event/virtual-exercise-on-communicable-illness/ LOCATION:Online Webinar CATEGORIES:Free Webinars,Virtual Exercise END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160609T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160609T144500 DTSTAMP:20260531T172737 CREATED:20160225T224120Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160923T180200Z UID:7980-1465480800-1465483500@www.firestorm.com SUMMARY:RenWeb and Firestorm: Crisis Conversation DESCRIPTION:You must register via GoToWebinar for this event at this URL: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8720804336032741901 \nIn today’s instant media and digital landscape\, how much time do you have to respond to a risk or threat?

Our second session builds on the learning experiences of the first session\, and presents a new cyber-risk scenario for teams to face. \nThese groundbreaking\, 120-minute interactive exercises\, designed for organizations of all types\, will stress-test leadership team response in a simulated cyber-crisis.

YOU and: \nSenior Crisis Team Members\, Business Continuity Teams\, Crisis Communication Team Members\, senior leadership including IT\, Operations\, Internal audit\, Finance\, HR\, Security and other appropriate departmental business units who wish to work together more effectively during a crisis or disaster. \nThe Interactive Virtual Exercise will include: \n\nCrisis/consequence management overview\nExercise Structure\, Objectives & Assumptions\nCyber-Breach Crisis Scenario: Series of Escalations\nWhat Do You Know?

Workplace violence should be at the top of your vulnerability and threat analysis. This webinar illustrates how to mitigate this risk by properly implementing a Behavioral Risk Threat Assessment. \nPeople do not just snap. There are warning signs\, red flags\, cues\, signals – but often they are not considered to be of a serious nature\, so they don’t get reported. Whether violence or cyber-bullying\, there are warning signs and indicators. Missing recognition of behaviors of concern or failing to listen to what is being said empowers escalation to violence. Knowing before the gun comes to work is a critical intelligence planning responsibility for every company. The earlier a problem is detected\, the less impact it will have. \nIt should be the aim of every company to create a culture where safety from violence is a common goal of both employees and leadership. To achieve such a culture\, warning signs must be recognized and understood; everyone must know how to report behaviors of concern; there must be procedures in place to investigate when there are concerns; and trained employees must know when to conduct a behavioral risk assessment and have the necessary resources in place to do so. \nSpeakers:\n\nSuzy Loughlin\, EVP\, Chief Administrative Officer\, Firestorm\nJim Satterfield\, President\, Chief Operating Officer\, Firestorm\nHarry Rhulen\, CEO\, Firestorm URL:https://www.firestorm.com/event/how-to-stop-the-madness-violence-in-the-workplace/ LOCATION:Online Webinar CATEGORIES:Free Webinars END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160511T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160511T114500 DTSTAMP:20260531T172737 CREATED:20160225T220044Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160520T152718Z UID:7977-1462964400-1462967100@www.firestorm.com SUMMARY:NJMEP and Firestorm: Why Business Intelligence Makes You So Dumb DESCRIPTION:You must register via GoToWebinar for this event at this URL: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5006504523823757837 \nPowerful technology provides powerful data – big data.

Traditionally\, organizations focus on external risks and address them with business continuity plans.

These risks are much more likely to negatively impact an organization’s people\, profits and reputation. \nFirestorm Principal\, Missan Eido\, will be presenting at the San Antonio ACP Monthly meeting on May 5 at 11:30 a.m. CT.
