Join our friends and neighbors in Hillcrest for their upcoming
Hillcrest Day 2019
Whether it’s a flood, blizzard, or hurricane, a disaster can strike the District at any moment. The effects can be devastating to both residents and businesses. A swift and coordinated private sector response can expedite recovery and restore normalcy in the District.
To better prepare and coordinate with the District’s private sector, The DC Business Emergency Management Operations Center (DC BEMOC) would like to invite you to the first bi-annual Business Preparedness day on September 17, 2019 from 9:00-3:00.
This 6 hour event will convene first responders, emergency managers and the District’s private sector partners to:
- Discuss business preparedness initiatives in the District
- Showcase new technologies that are being leveraged by the BEMOC
- Identify and prioritize operational issues that can be solved through public-private partnerships
- Conduct the first ever BEMOC Tabletop Exercise
Pre-registration for this event is required by Friday September 13 by 5:00
For more information about this event or registration, contact [email protected]
