Workshop: Overcoming Evacuation Challenges for Hospitals & Nursing Care Facilities
Full or partial evacuation of a facility requires careful planning and coordination. Challenges exist when getting patients out of the building, away from the building, or back to the building. This session will focus on lessons learned, best practices, and practical tips for planning, training, community partnerships, equipment allocation, and exercises to test the process. The interactive discussion will be based on examples of actual evacuations and full-scale exercises. (Tuesday, March 30, 4-5 p.m., hospital.)

Workshop: Designing Security Programs that Produce Measurable Results
Campus leadership is demanding that security programs produce measurable results. Decisions can no longer rely on assumptions that will not stand-up under the scrutiny of the bean counters. This means that vulnerabilities and threats must be identified and quantified within the context of a relational database. This presentation will teach attendees how to speak the language of the CFO and design security programs that will produce the desired set of outcomes. (Tuesday, March 30, 3-4 p.m., K-12, university & hospital.)
