Effective preparation for the next disaster—whether it’s a hurricane, plant explosion, active shooter situation or previously unimagined catastrophe—requires examining what worked well and what didn’t in the past. The best preparation calls for each unit of the disaster response community, including multiple government agencies, to examine past responses and then work together to establish proven procedures for communication, coordination and public safety. Medical World Amercias promote a conference in the Solutions Theater, Expo Hall, on Monday, April 28, from1:45 to 2:30 PM.

The Breakthrough Disaster Preparedness Strategies panel will bring together key members of those critical units to share their past wins and lessons learned, with the goal of minimizing future casualties and damage.

Panelists include:

	Ed Gonzalez Houston Mayor Pro-Tem
	Chief Dennis Storemski Deputy Director of Public Security and Homeland Security
	Walter Magnussen, Jr. Director of Telecommunications, Texas A&M
	Major Michael Wong Harris County Sheriff’s Office
	Chief Rick Flanagan Office of Emergency Management
	Captain Jonathan Zera Houston Police Department
