Emergency
Preparedness
In today's society emergency preparedness has become more
than preparing for hurricanes, tornados, floods and other natural disasters.
Crisis management planning in the public sector now has to include chemical and

Violence in
the Workplace
How safe am I at work? More than 1000 Americans are
murdered on the job annually. Many of the steps often taken to reduce violence
in the workplace do not prevent violence, they merely displace it. A properly
trained workforce can be a strategic competitive advantage for an agency.
Employees must be aware of workplace violence, what they can do to lessen the
impact of workplace violence to your agency, and understand their roles and
responsibilities in the event an incident should occur.
