"2007 took off with a series of bangs, unfortunately they were
terrorist attacks and bomb threats. Fortunately all targets made
it to their defendable zones or executed a safe evacuation out
of harms way." Rich Woldt
Posted Notes from the CEO:
We continue to form Public-to-Private Partnerships at the
chapter and regional levels throughout the international credit
union movement and train Critical Incident Response Teams
(CIRTs) in the same Incident Command and Control System (ICS)
taught to law enforcement, fire fighter, emergency governments,
and homeland security professionals!

When disasters strike, there's
little time to debate who's in charge or what
to do first. Throughout 2007, credit unions, CU
chapters, leagues and associations should continue
teaching the "Incident Command System (ICS)," at
all levels
of the international credit union movement. Following
"Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs", chapters should establish branch banking networks
at a tri-chapter level to meet the
liquidity needs of evacuees, those forced to house-in-place,
and those entering the recovery and reconstruction phase
after a community crisis. Veteran' posts and the
faith-based community should train Critical
Incident Response Teams (CIRTs) so they're mission-ready to
respond to victim needs as they unfold.
Our ability to protect and
defend our homeland will depend heavily on our
ability to create public-to-private partnerships at the
local or "community" level. Credit unions
should
continue to involve local local law enforcement, fire
fighters, and emergency government professionals at
chapter meetings and Risk Management -
Homeland Security forums.
All Credit Union Risk Managers
(CURMs) should have a working knowledge of Homeland
Security and Emergency Government web sites, take an
active roll in neighborhood watches, and join local
security associations such as ASIS International and
InfraGard. Credit unions and CU chapter
officials should play an active roll in all
emergency government tests of warning systems and
emergency response protocols.
During 2007 our we will
continue to develop our ICS templates and train "Critical Incident Response
Teams (CIRTs) through veteran organizations at
www.DoorCountyVeterans.com and faith-based
communities at
www.COPs007.com. We'll also continue to expand our
community outreach "Homeland-Security" chapter programs
to encourage more effective public-to-private
partnerships in the war against terrorism. Our RM
R&D department will continue to monitor natural
disasters, terrorist' threats, and pandemic risks based
on zip/postal codes and deploy RMLC resources
accordingly.
Our stated goal for 2007 is to
foster public-to-private partnerships so communities
will be mission-ready to support and, if needed, reinforce professional first responders. Our primary mission in
'07 is to promote the age-old RM principle - "United we Stand -
Divided we Fall!"
