    March Chapter Meeting - Friday, 21st 
    You Must See or Hear this presentation!


    Topic: Business Continuity using the CMIST Resource Tool
    Learn how the CMIST framework helps organizations enhance disaster preparedness by addressing access and functional needs in continuity planning. True resilience means inclusive planning--nothing about us, without us!  

    At-risk individuals may have a number of additional needs that must be considered in planning for, responding to, and recovering from a disaster or public health emergency. The CMIST Framework is a recommended approach for integrating the Access and Functional Needs (AFN) of these individuals.


    ** 
    CMIST is an acronym for the following five categories: Communication, Maintaining health, Independence, Support and Safety, and Transportation


    Speaker - Curtis Garrett, Atlantis Community & long time CRMC member
    most recently speaker at Fall 2024 - IAEM24 

    Curt grew up in Lakewood where he went to a segregated school for students with disabilities until he was one of the first students to be “mainstreamed” in Jefferson County. He graduated from Metro State University with a BA in Recreation Administration.  He became involved with disaster planning while being the chairperson for the Denver Commission for People with Disabilities. He attended FEMA’s “Get Real Conference” in 2011 where he heard the tragic stories of how lack of planning forced people with disabilities out of their communities, separated them from families, and even led to death in some cases.

    It is his goal not to let this happen here in Colorado. “Recovery from a disaster tomorrow depends on our preparation today.”

    Registration closes at Noon, Thurs March 20th.

    ** ASL Interpretation and additional accommodations are available.

    Workplace safety continues to be a top concern for employees in 2025, but new research shows many workers feel unsafe and unprepared for emergencies. AlertMedia’s 2025 State of Employee Safety Report, based on surveys of over 3,000 employees in the U.S. and U.K., reveals a critical need for better safety communication and addressing both physical and mental safety.

    Join Peter Steinfeld, AlertMedia’s SVP of Safety Solutions, as he presents the report's key findings and actionable insights for business continuity and resiliency leaders to help improve safety in your workplace.

     MIT Crisis Management & Business Resiliency Course


    Preparing for a crisis is not a luxury; it is a necessity. The COVID-19 pandemic has proven this. You know the odds are high that your company will suffer, or has experienced, a disaster or crisis. You cannot say you weren't ready; today's extreme public and government scrutiny demand that you should have been prepared. MIT's Crisis Management & Business Resiliency course will help prepare you for the inevitable.

    This comprehensive program provides important knowledge, up-to-date assessments, and several case studies on issues that affect you and your organization — regulations and standards, response strategies, cyber security, supply chain, crisis leadership, artificial intelligence, communications, news media, social media, federal/state/local government response, drills and exercises — from the experts involved with these efforts. We also examine strategies for program, position, and career improvement. You will have the opportunity to interact with our lecturers and with your peers from industry, academia, and government.

    Participants also practice what is learned - the course includes:
    •    A ransomware tabletop exercise
    •    A highly interactive crisis simulation in which participants take active response roles in a multiple-event crisis, including a realistic news media briefing.

    By the end of the course, you will have the tools, knowledge, and understanding to benchmark, assess, and improve your business resiliency, cybersecurity, and crisis management programs. This includes the course manual (e-files), templates, and current articles. You will gain valuable contacts, have plenty of networking opportunities during and after class, and acquire insights/skills/knowledge for immediate implementation.
