Announcing A New Approach to
Disaster Management Training...

EVENT OVERVIEW

Disaster management training has become a common theme for various events across the nation, but few of them address the operational needs of today’s disaster management challenges.  The 2009 West Coast Disaster Management Integration event (DMI 2009), August 11-13 in Sacramento, California , will bring together disaster management professionals from across the country for a unique, hands-on training event with the inaugural theme of Fires, Floods and Earthquakes: Turning Strategy Into Action .  DMI is scheduled to become a bi-annual, bi-coastal event.
