Emergency Preparedness: Beyond Natural Disasters
We must dare to think about the unthinkable
things...
--Senator William Fulbright So many people
refuse to consider the "unthinkable things.” It’s as if they believe that by not thinking about
them, they won’t happen.
Here in California, it is an absolute certainty that an earthquake, flood, wildfire
or mud slide will happen somewhere in the state in the next 6 months. Still, most individuals and businesses have no
preparations in place for one of these natural disasters. They assume that none of these disasters are likely to affect them directly. What about other types of emergencies?
Things like down-turns in the economy or toxic spills. What about deliberate acts - events as common as crime, and as
rare as terrorist acts? At one time or another, virtually every large American city has been placed under a curfew
or some sort of martial law. How would that directly or indirectly affect you? When these are factored into the
equation, the likelihood of being directly affected goes up quite
a bit. Bison Risk Management Associates has developed seminars for the individual, as well as for businesses, civic
and labor organizations, schools and churches. At the completion of this seminar - Emergency Preparedness: Beyond Natural Disasters, you will have the skills, knowledge and attitude necessary
to build a plan that is flexible enough to get you through virtually any emergency situation. Seminars for Individuals Seminars and Consulting for Groups
There are so many things beyond our control which can impact our lives.
There are natural disasters. A flood. An earthquake. Wildfires. Pandemics.
There are economic issues. Job loss, bank closures, retirement funds evaporating.
There are devastating accidents - things like toxic emissions, oil spills, train derailments. And
there are the deliberate acts of others. Arson, food safety issues and government mandates. And now we need to
consider the possibility of terrorist acts. It's a lot to think about. At Home • At Work • In The Car

Seminars and Consulting For Groups As the leader of any organization - be it a business, church,
school, or a civic or labor organization - you have a duty to your employees and members. If disaster strikes during
business hours or while your organization is sponsoring an activity - meetings, services or classes - your employees or members
will be looking to you for answers. Built upon our Emergency Preparedness: Beyond Natural Disasters seminar for individuals, Bison offers your business
or organization a number of options to prepare for unexpected emergencies or disasters. Seminar - The most effective and cost-efficient option.
Bison will lead a group of your employees or members through the process of preparing your specific business or organization.
The product will be a plan based upon your specific employee or member make-up, your physical location and any special needs
unique to your situation. By having your employees or members involved in the process, your organization
has the "insider knowledge" that is needed to adjust your plan should circumstances change. In
addition to the project management, Bison provides you with all of the templates, worksheets, and forms (in either MS Word
or OpenOffice Write format) needed for your project team to produce (and be able to update) your unique plan. Seminar Length: 8 hours - your option of a one day session, or split into two, 4-hour
sessions. Price: $950
