Mapping Drone Operators for a National Disaster Response Network
June 30th, 2021 at 3:00 pm EST | REGISTER HERE!
Airborne International Response Team (AIRT) the official home of DRONERESPONDERS, has partnered with Esri, the global leader in geographic information system (GIS) software, to develop the first comprehensive geo-referenced global directory of remote pilots available for incident management and disaster response operations.

This is the world's first comprehensive geo-referenced directory of public safety and emergency services drone program which is a major stepping stone as it will facilitate information sharing, training, and assistance around the globe.

Join us for this special webinar as we will hear from Chief Charles Werner, the Director of DRONERESPONDERS, Brandon Karr, the project manager who started the project in 2020 after identifying the need to map the locations of law enforcement, fire/EMS, industry, non-governmental organizations, federal programs that could provide mutual assistance to other jurisdictions, and Mike Cox, the Public Safety Director at ESRI.

Speakers:

Brandon Karr, Project manager

Chief Charles Werner (Ret.) and Director, DRONERESPONDERS, Editorial Board Member, Homeland Security Today

Mike Cox, Public Safety Director, ESRI

The Paradise California Camp Fire: A Survivor Speaks (and Films) the Lessons
June 30th, 2021 at 11:00 am EST | REGISTER HERE!
Join us on June 30th to hear former FEMA Administrator Brock Long, and Christopher Allan Smith, an Emmy-Award Winning documentarian, who lived in Paradise, California with his family until the Camp Fire consumed his home in November 2018.

Since then, he has been conducting interviews and research into the history of the fire as well as the lessons taken by first responders, civilians, government officials, and private disaster planners, to produce film and writing projects based on those lessons. Smith also acted as a Field Producer for Ron Howard’s REBUILDING PARADISE as well as the writer/director of the PBS broadcast documentary A HIGH AND AWFUL PRICE: LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE CAMP FIRE.

In this webinar we will talk to Chris about his experience, the lessons he learned from the disaster, and his lessons learned for others that he is documenting in an exclusive column with Homeland Security Today.

We present this series to bring a voice to the victims of disaster and add some personal texture and experience to the impact of disasters, terrorism, and other tragic acts of violence.
