Disasters can happen at any time, are you prepared to deal with one if it were to happen? Most of us spend our professional lives trying to get people to take risk seriously, but are we ourselves prepared for 'The Bad Thing' to happen?

This talk will focus on disaster preparedness, 'survivor' psychology, and planning. The talk will cover different scenarios (staying put vs. leaving town) and the threats that go along with each.

With any luck folks will walk away with a good head for where to start planning and how to make it through a disaster.
