This year’s conference will be held from July 11-13 at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Dallas. \nFirestorm President/CEO/Co-Founder\, Jim Satterfield will be attending the conference and presenting three sessions. Joining Jim and representing Firestorm are Missan Eido and Chad White. \nJim’s sessions will focus on monitoring and identifying potential risks to your school\, updating crisis plans and understanding that every crisis is a human crisis. \nWhile 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 of school violence. 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 three sessions are as follows: \n\nOpen Source Intelligence – How do you know what you don’t know?\nOne of the top three failures in a disaster or risk is the failure to monitor all threats and risks. The majority of companies today do not have a formal Threat Intelligence Program in place.  There is not a specific plan with dedicated resources and tools in place. Many schools have portions of the solution\, but lack a formal integrated solution.  Where do you start? What are the essential components of an Intelligence Network? \nAttendees will: \n\nLearn outsource-intelligence strategies and tools\nReceive Open-Source Intelligence Guide to support the design of their own intelligence network based on their specific Risk and Vulnerability Profile\n\n\nCrisis Index™ – Is this event an incident or a crisis?  How significant is the crisis? What are the impacts? How widespread are the\n \nJim Satterfield Firestorm CEO\, President and Co-Founder \n\nimplications? Is the crisis escalating or declining?\nThe Firestorm CRISIS INDEX™ provides a uniform evaluation to compare crises and evaluate appropriate actions and communications needed. In the rush to communicate\, errors are made\, and exposures increase. Understanding the reach\, context\, and acceleration of social and traditional media perceptions in a crisis empowers management to guide decisions and crisis communications. CRISIS INDEX algorithm addresses three dimensions quantitatively. The three dimensions are: OUTRAGE (Shocking\, Offensive\, Despicable\, Shameful\, Crazy\, Beyond Belief\, & Extreme); FAULT (Responsibility\, Culpability\, Accountability\, & Liability); and FEAR (Panic\, Alarm\, Terror\, Dread\, Anxiety\, Horror\, Concern\, & Worry). \nAttendees will: \n\nLearn the key crisis questions and strategy actions\nDevelop crisis messages\nExperience decisions actions\, and communications in a crisis scenario\n\n\nActive Shooter (Update your plan)\nDon’t wait until the Active Shooter is at your school. Attendees will receive one year  license to the Firestorm Behavioral Risk Threat Assessment Program (BERTHA®).  Every Crisis is a Human Crisis. While Firestorm® uses this phrase to focus the impacts of disasters\, crises\, and violence\, 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.

Don’t let the new CMS Emergency Preparedness Regulations jeopardize your healthcare organization’s Medicaid and Medicare Certificate of Participation (CoP) or your Conditions for Coverage (CfC). \nCMS found that while many providers and suppliers have emergency preparedness requirements\, those requirements do not go far enough in ensuring that these providers and suppliers are equipped and prepared to help protect those they serve during emergencies and disasters. This rule establishes a consistent framework that mandates incorporation of best practices and lessons learned in emergency preparedness. The rule details the 17 types of “facilities” that are covered under the regulation. This final rule will be enforceable on November 15\, 2017. No extensions are anticipated. Join Kevin McIntyre for this session. \nAbout Kevin ‘Mac’ McIntyre: \nFirestorm CMS Rule subject matter expert Kevin “Mac” McIntyre is a seasoned strategic planning and crisis and emergency management senior leader. Mac has held multiple senior leadership positions with broad preparedness responsibilities including strategy and policy initiatives around the National Guard’s Homeland Response mission in the Emergency Management Crisis Response arena. His roles have included Air Force Medical Group Director\, Director of Corporate Training\, Senior IT Consultant/Project Manager and many more. \nAbout Firestorm: \nFirestorm® is America’s CRISIS COACH®.

DESCRIPTION:You must register via GoToWebinar for this event at this URL: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7201934579109886724 \nWhat is the biggest risk your organization faces? If common exposures like fire\, violence\, malpractice\, or the myriad of other known vulnerabilities were the first thing to come to mind\, think again. There is a far greater problem lurking. \nIn today’s technologically advanced world\, the crisis environment feeds on itself due to texting\, tweeting and other less than optimal methods of communication. Rumor and innuendo get repeated and become “truth.” A crisis becomes its own exposure threat. The crisis\, like an explosion or an incidence of workplace violence\, creates its own damage. The effects of a crisis can be instant and catastrophic\, or chronic.\n\nJoin Firestorm CEO Jim Satterfield & Michael C. Redmond (Lead Strategic Consultant\, EFPR Group) Redmond Worldwide\, for this 45-minute session. The session will explore what happens when a crisis evolves from situations where the vulnerability or exposure is unknown\, no plan or mitigation strategy exists\, and therefore the response and communications are sub-optimal. \nAbout Firestorm: \nFirestorm® is America’s CRISIS COACH®.

Chandler \n\nAbout the Session: \nDisaster preparedness requires an assessment of risks\, consequences and potential impacts from dangers and threatening circumstances. However\, when it comes to perceiving risks\, threats and dangers people often get things “wrong” – at least when perceptions of risks are compared to rational and empirical assessments of actual dangers. People tend to exaggerate some risks while disregarding others. This session calls us to recognize that the powerful subconscious system of risk perception that helps humans gauge and respond to dangers\, works sometimes\, but can sometimes lead us to make mistakes that can result in failures to prepare\, respond\, behave appropriately or even to behave in ways to make the situation worse. With increased self-awareness we may be able to improve our risk perception performance and thereby enhance our decisions and planning for disaster mitigation and preparedness. \nAbout Robert Chandler\nRobert Chandler\, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized expert on multiple aspects of communication and human interaction in specialized contexts. He currently holds an academic appointment as a professor at Lipscomb University. \n\nAbout DRJ FallWorld\nDRJ is the largest event dedicated to business continuity\, since 1987.

Don’t let the new CMS Emergency Preparedness Regulations jeopardize your healthcare organization’s Medicaid and Medicare Certificate of Participation (CoP) or your Conditions for Coverage (CfC). \nCMS found that while many providers and suppliers have emergency preparedness requirements\, those requirements do not go far enough in ensuring that these providers and suppliers are equipped and prepared to help protect those they serve during emergencies and disasters.

Crisis Intuition DESCRIPTION:You must register via GoToWebinar for this event at the URL: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1749833552620416513 \nIn a business-as-usual state\, a leader’s intuition often plays a very real role in the decision-making process. Successful leaders’ intuition draws on years\, perhaps decades\, of experience in their business or area of expertise\, and many leaders have learned to rely on their intuition. But\, what happens when these leaders are thrust into an unfamiliar situation – a business-as-unusual situation – making decisions in crisis? Will their intuition serve them well in crisis? \nJoin Firestorm Principals Guy Higgins and Jennifer Freedman as they explore intuition as a decision-making tool – during times of both business-as-usual and business-as-unusual. When is intuition a valuable tool and when is it an “albatross”? The presentation will help attendees understand the strengths and limits of intuitive decision making and how to make intuition work for them in a crisis. \nAbout Firestorm: \nFirestorm® is America’s CRISIS COACH®.

This conclusion may seem obvious. However\, most corporations lack compliance programs to assure shareholders\, employees\, and clients that the corporation can continue to perform in the face of known identifiable vulnerabilities. \nEverything is foreseeable. Anyone can be found accountable. \nIf directors and officers neglect to prevent or mitigate foreseeable disasters or prepare for those that are not preventable\, the business-judgment rule will not shield them. They are exposed to liability if they fail to act in good faith and exercise due care. \nPlease join Firestorm CEO and President\, Jim Satterfield\, and Firestorm COO\, Hart Brown\, as they explore how a well-designed and executed plan can transform a crisis into value\, and supports senior leadership in critical decision-making in times of crisis. \nAbout Firestorm: \nFirestorm® is America’s Crisis Coach®.
