Live Webinar: Developing a Hurricane Preparedness Strategy Through Historic and Real-Time Information

The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season was the third most active year ever with 21 named storms. It’s critical that Federal, State, and Local agencies work in tandem creating safeguards and emergency response plans to ensure the safety of their communities and securing critical infrastructure.

The best way for these agencies to develop a preparedness plan is to analyze historic trends in conjunction with real-time publicly available information (PAI) like weather statements and sensor data, so that all members of the agency can act accordingly during storm progression.

Join officials from Virginia Department of Emergency Management, Earth Networks and Dataminr as they discuss:

• What historic trends to look for when preparing for a hurricane
• How to utilize PAI as the storm reaches landfall
• Response initiatives to keep employees and the community safe

Speakers:

• Dataminr - Janie Gotherman, Sr Director of Public Sector Growth Marketing
• Virginia Department of Emergency Management - Erin Sutton, Chief Deputy State Coordinator
• Virginia Department of Emergency Management - Michelle Oblinsky, Deputy State Coordinator
• Earth Networks - Mark Hoekzema - Chief Meteorologist, Director of Meteorological Operations
