Eastern Great Lakes ACP, Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce and Firestorm Present: Predictive Insights: Looking for Clues in Advance of a Crisis
2018-02-15 09:00 - 09:45 (America/New_York) | Online Webinar
To paraphrase the eminent Dr. Robert L Pfaltzgraff Jr., crises prediction may be the result of a failure of imagination or the inability to connect informational dots properly. What is deemed as unlikely is demoted as a focus of preparatory efforts. The unfamiliar becomes the highly improbable. We discard bits of information that may have enabled us to prepare for a crisis because we are unable to think of abstract threats. We lose or overlook clues that may give us advance warning. We don’t know what we don’t know and are incapable of thinking about the unknown.
In a crisis, we can only react with what we know. Through the combination of leveraging technology, tools, and expertise of analytics, we can not only aid in critical decision support in times of crisis, we may be able to foretell and prevent a crisis altogether.
In this webinar, Chief Intelligence Officer for Firestorm, Karen Masullo, will discuss how you can work toward eliminating crisis surprise, disaster denial and self-deception by using technology and analysis to identify potential issues before they evolve into crisis.

In 2017 we witnessed the challenges of cybersecurity through the Equifax Breach, violent situations by way of the Las Vegas Shooting and others and natural disaster destruction in the aftermath of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. Now is the time to plan and prepare for the future.
Your new year has begun – are you already behind?
Every day we are faced with challenges and opportunities – organizations must be plan for both. Your organization is not defined by any one situation; it is defined by how well you and your people are prepared and respond.
We invite you to bring your crisis plans to the virtual table and join Jim Satterfield (Firestorm CEO/President) for our first webinar session of the 2018 series. We will review how your organization can create a robust crisis plan by learning from past crises and disasters.

Over the course of a year, hundreds of crises occur. This year alone we witnessed violence at concerts in Las Vegas and Manchester; vehicles being used as weapons in New York City and Virginia, and former disgruntled employees opening fire in a Charleston, SC restaurant and Fiamma in Orlando, FL.
We cannot, however, overlook the non-violent crises. From natural disasters to cyber issues like the Equifax breach, crises have greatly affected organizations – both large and small.
What have we learned in the last 365 days?
If not handled in an appropriate manner, a crisis can dramatically impact an organization’s profitability, reputation or ability to operate. Decisions made during a time of crisis effect everyone that interacts with your organization. Don’t let your first response become the second crisis.

Terrorism or Lone Wolf – Does it Matter? - A Firestorm Virtual Stress-Test Event

Las Vegas. New York. San Bernardino. Manchester. Texas – the list unfortunately continues. This year alone we have seen multiple cases of mass violence in the world.
We see the headlines. We watch the news. The images and death and injury counts are a wakeup call to us all. There are two million violent incidents in workplaces and two million episodes of bullying in our schools each year. We see widespread domestic violence. We have failed to identify and address behaviors of concern before they escalate into a path of violence.
What can we do?
Act. We have the tools. Does your company, school, or church have a workplace violence program that incorporates a complete shut-down after an incidence of violence occurs? Incidences of mass shooting, even if unrelated to your specific location, can close your facility, business or campus for weeks. How will you respond?
Please join the Firestorm® Senior Leadership Team and key, national partners as we guide participants through a series of escalation events, with participants applying their own crisis management and active shooter response plans to each stage of the escalation.

RenWeb and Firestorm Present - Crisis Communications Trust and Resiliency: Brand Attributes
2017-12-07 08:00 - 17:00 | Online Webinar
Caring about and acting upon initiatives that highlight the health and safety of everyone in your organization, and by extension your community, demonstrates a sincerity of purpose that is reflected across an organization’s brand.
Preparedness and resiliency are key brand attributes for every organization. Today’s best career search web sites feature those internal to an organization sharing what it’s like to work or study there. Vendors want to work with resilient organizations and most important, clients and customers want to be assured of an organization’s longevity.
In this webinar, we will discuss how to prepare for the time when control of events and messages are lost, impacts accelerate and public scrutiny intensifies. We will cover:
What seems “OFF”? – Metrics to measure:

Outrage – Shocking, Offensive, Despicable, Shameful, Crazy, Beyond Belief, and Extreme
Fault – Responsibility, Culpability, Accountability, and Liability
Fear – Panic, Alarm, Terror, Dread, Anxiety, Horror, and Concern

The Firestorm Crisis Index™ quantitatively and qualitatively rates crises on reach, context, and acceleration.

Reach – volume, tone, and source of communications
Context – significance, magnitude, and extent of impact
Acceleration – rate of change in volume

CMS Rule Preparedness Program Session
2017-11-27 12:00 - 13:00, 2017-11-13 12:00 - 13:00 | Online Webinar
THIS INFORMATIVE SESSION IS FOR HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS AFFECTED BY THE CMS EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS RULE ONLY

Firestorm has decoded the 600+ pages of the new Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Emergency Preparedness Regulation and is providing a no-fee webinar to explain what needs to be done to be in compliance. 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).
CMS 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.

The University of Alabama and Firestorm Present: It’s Flu Season, Where’d Everyone Go?
2017-11-21 10:30 - 11:15 | Online Webinar

If 45 percent of your employees couldn’t work tomorrow, what would you do? How long could you conduct business as usual?
Unlike the disasters that most organizations plan for, a disease outbreak will not affect equipment and facilities, but rather the people that organizations depend upon to produce products and services. The current assumptions about illnesses’ 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 refine their practices and policies that address the long timeline of an illness event.
Please join us as Firestorm Principal and Licensed Pharmacist, Ken Mercer, explores the risks associated with employee absences and communicable illnesses.
