Agenda
KEYNOTE: The Golden Hour - How will you spend yours?
Host: Regina Phelps, EMS Solutions Inc.

Info: When faced with a fast-moving and potentially catastrophic incident, what factors will enhance your ability to respond rapidly and effectively? Every organization confronts this challenge as current threats increase in intensity and frequency. Ransomware, malware, denial-of-service attacks, and cyber intrusions have underscored the importance of an organization’s effectiveness during the initial moments and hours of a crisis.
The term “Golden Hour” was first described by R. Adams Cowley, MD, when he recognized that the sooner trauma patients reached definitive care (within 60 minutes of injury) the better their chances of survival. What your organization does in those first few minutes and hours can make all the difference. To achieve this, you need a solid assessment and communication process, along with a crisis management team that understands its roles and responsibilities.
A fast-paced look at how to ensure the first hour of a crisis is truly golden for your organization.
