REVIEWS

"Good way to do the seminar."
Jason Moulton


"Good presentation of the contents of the 9/11 Drill Down."


"These are always a great forum. I usually come away with a lot of great ideas. Thank you."
Talbot County DES
Michael Boldosser


"I will be following up and registering for Nat'l Preparedness Month activities."
Lt Ron Swartz
U of Alaska


"Nice and concise. Will you be emailing us the PowerPoint as handouts? It would be nice to have the PowerPoint prior to the webinar, so we can download and take notes."
Brenda Carlevato
[Note: We email the link to the slides when they are posted. Hint: You can use the print icon in Live Meeting to print your own copy of the slides during the program.--ajs]


"Thank you very much for conducting this Webinar and I am looking forward to the next one."
Michelle Hutchinson
The United States Corps of Chaplains


"Very good presentation. There are a few lessons that we are sure we can apply in our own area of disaster preparedness."
Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management, Trinidad and Tobago


"Very happy to hear about what Safe America is doing, I am hoping I can get my organization to commit to at least communicating about this year's program and perhaps having some type of workshop to help our staff and students create a preparedness kit."
Ed Gregory
DePaul University


"Thanks to the EMForum for putting this particular Webinar together for this month. It couldn't have come at a more appropriate time given that National Preparedness Month is less than 2 months away. The content and suggestions by Drill Down for Safety to encourage Family Emergency Preparedness were great ideas for my consideration in preparing for an activity here on Aberdeen Proving Ground in September. Many thanks and keep these coming!!"
Scot Freeman
Aberdeen Proving Ground


"I applaud the efforts of this organization but am disappointed that misinformation is being given. Federal, State and Local Emergency Management have worked hard to provide valid and accurate info to the public. Safe America is an expensive organization to join. There are already (our) tax dollars, in the form of grants, being utilized for this purpose."
Susan Sanderson
Sanderson Associates
[Note: There is no cost to participate in the "Drill Down for Safety" campaign.--ajs]


"Needed more time from the panel; it was just starting to get very informitive. Great start. These should be weekly, heading up to the international day of disaster preparedness. There are some other nonprofits internationally attempting to do the same. Also, only targting 1 million people, is too small a percentage of the total population. What do we do with the other high percentage of those without cell phones, such as myself? Looking forward to future discussions."
Steven Longmire
EMConnection


"My audio connection did not connect, so I viewed the slideshow, but couldn't hear the presentation or the answers to the questions. You should have a call-in number for those who are experiencing computer audio issues to participate in the meetings."
[Note: Please contact me at [email protected] so I can assist you with your audio connection.--ajs]


"This was a more general event other than to sign up for events."
H Davis Tubre
Aims First & Associates


"I would have liked more specific ideas of what others have done using exceptional "creativity" to promote preparedness in the past in a Word document format that could be shared with our volunteer coordinators to inspire them."


"I hope the participation in preparedneess will far exceed the expectations, this September. Thank you for hosting this. The guests are always informative."
Michael Farinacci
