  MMA Colleague Chat:
  Disaster Plans

  Thursday,  March 4
  11:00 am
  

  
  

  Disasters are usually unexpected and often unavoidable, and loss is likely in many circumstances. But having even just a minimal conversation in advance about how to respond to a water event, fire, or other disaster can help speed effective response and mitigate damage. 

  Join colleagues to discuss all things disaster plan. Bring yours to share
  or come to hear about what others are doing. 

  This chat was suggested by the Disaster Preparedness and Response MMA Member Community. 

  Location: The MMA Zoom account. You can join via phone or internet. Instructions for connecting will be sent with registration confirmation. 

  The session will be facilitated by MMA Executive Director, Lisa Craig Brisson. 

  Registration is free, but some members have requested the option to make a donation as part of their participation. Because of this, we added a registration option that includes a $5 donation. You can also make a donation of any amount here. Thank you!
