Wednesday, January 15th, 2014
12:00 PM to 1:30 PM

A Roundtable Leader will guide HR practitioners through a discussion on specific topics related to the field of Human Resources. This allows for sharing of knowledge, strategies, lessons-learned, and practical tips, tools, and techniques. Participants are encouraged to actively engage in the discussion, ask questions, and provide real scenarios. A variety of formats will be used depending on the topic and the facilitator (i.e. group discussions, case studies etc.).

Topic and facilitator Information: Emergency Preparedness

Rob Johns, Victoria Emergency Management Agency (VEMA), Emergency Coordinator for the City of Victoria, has worked for the City in emergency management for 13 years.

Using real-world examples from New Orleans and Christchurch Rob will lead a discussion on:
Why bother being prepared � earthquakes, fires, flu
What can happen in Victoria � what does an earthquake here look like?
What you can do to be prepared (i.e. Staff Preparedness, how to make you space safer)
The event has happened � now what?
