EPPs Unger Keynote Speaker at MODC Seminar
Hammonton, NJ – November 2012 – Eileen Unger was the Keynote Speaker at the Monmouth-Ocean County Development Council’s (MODC) Energy, Environment and Technology Committees seminar “Build a Resilient Business Through Emergency Planning & Recovery – Emergency Preparedness & Recovery for Small to Mid-sized Businesses” held on November 27, 2012 at the offices of New Jersey Natural Gas. The event was co-hosted by the Jersey Shore Partnership.
People generally don’t want to think about being at risk. However, as we have just learned, life along our coastal waters involves risks to the safety of our business – from physical damage to economic solvency. It is more important than ever for business owners to learn how to plan for, and recover from, a variety of business crises and emergencies. The seminar reviewed what a business should do to prepare for, and manage, a business emergency. All the panelists are experts in their fields of emergency management, and helped the attendees to “prepare for the unexpected” and get back to business as soon as possible.
The panelists included:
- John Kalli, Trinity Worldwide Technologies
- Elizabeth Archer, Anne Klein Communications Group
- Michael Oppegaard, Monmouth County Sheriff’s Dept. OEM
- Kysa George, FEMA, Private Sector Division
- John Allen, FEMA
- Gary Colton, U. S. Small Business Administration
