The call is open to a national audience of state, local, and tribal governments, and to all members of the public, including the private sector, the disability community, and volunteer community, who share an interest in improving the Nation’s capacity in emergency management.

The three ideas that we will be discussing on this call are:

Members from the community who submitted the ideas for this month’s call will brief the Deputy and all attendees, and afterward, the Deputy will open up the call to the national audience for further discussion, questions and answers.
