Speaker:
Randy Voigt, Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent was our speaker.
He moved here 3 years ago. He creates Emergency Management Plans for Businesses and Individuals. He explained the difference between crisis and emergency: time frame, crisis is something you can prepare for. There are three levels: 1. Incident; 2. Emergency; 3. Crisis. Some history: 1803 Congressional Act First National Disaster; 1941 Office of Civilian Defense; 1950 Federal Civil Defense Administration; 1979 FEMA created; 2001 Sept 11; 2002 Homeland Security; 2003 President Bush National Response Framework. He stressed the need to have a plan for both business and personal. He practices what he preaches and is prepared and carries supplies in his car - like blanket, water, first aid kit, flash light.
