Managing Director Camille Cates Barnett and approximately 45 members of Mayor Nutter’s Executive Team participated in a Homeland Security Executive Education Seminar on Tuesday, January 13 at the Sheraton Center City Hotel.
Deputy Managing Director for Emergency Management MaryAnn E. Tierney who was instrumental in bringing the seminar to Philadelphia said, “The Executive Education Seminar is a comprehensive program designed to prepare the City of Philadelphia’s Executive Team for any kind of emergency.” During the seminar, the Executive Team learned about homeland security issues and challenges including managing risk – such as threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences; prevention and intelligence; preparedness; response and recovery to catastrophic events; and continuity of essential services. The seminar was intended to help the City strengthen its capability to prevent, deter, and respond to terrorist attacks as well as providing a forum to discuss common themes in an “all hazard” context.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s National Preparedness Directorate, FEMA developed in partnership with the Naval Postgraduate School Center for Homeland Defense and Security, the half-day homeland security seminar. The seminar was conducted by the Naval Postgraduate School’s Mobile Education Team which is comprised of nationally recognized experts in various areas related to homeland security.
