Cops007 -
Door County, Wisconsin: Shortly after
9-11-01, I launched a community outreach Risk
Management initiative to mobilize local law
enforcement accross the country, anytime a US
citizen finds themselves in harmsway. |
FYI: On the first anniversary
of the 9-11-01 terrorist attacks, the Risk Management
Learning Center launched a study of "Private"
sector' crisis management systems and the roles
played by the private sector before, during, and after
any large scale community crisis that requires mass
housing-in-place or a mass evacuation. Credit Union Risk
Managers from across the United States, Great Britain,
Ireland, Poland, South Korea, Canada and throughout the
Caribbean all contributed during the study. The study
benchmarked private' sector contingency plans as well as
private sector emergency response and recovery programs
and protocols.
I launched three web sites through which we
conducted best practices survey, built training modules
and crisis management templates, and field tested Risk
Management controls specific to an industry or
geographical region of the world. For example:
-
www.DoorCountyVeterans.com and
www.VFWPost8337.com focused on mobilizing
veterans and forming private-to-private and
public-to-private homeland security partnerships and
unified commands.
- www.ASIS067.com
and www.COPs007.com
focused on benchmarking private sector' contingency,
business continuity, and business resumption
planning programs and projects.
-
www.Vetsonguard.com focused on mobilizing a
global response during the next terrorist attack,
natural disaster, pandemic, or large scale community
crisis involving over 5000 victims requiring
relocation for more than six months.
Each web site identified a cadre of street smart
local instructors supported by a network of public,
private, and international liaisons. Credit union
education directors at the chapter and state levels
should be working closely with their local law
enforcement, fire chiefs, and emergency government
officials. You're more than welcome to use our chapter
presentation templates. click on the 2008 curriculum
icon above for more information.

Go to
www.DoorCountyVeterans.com for an example of our
Risk Management liaison networks. Note, liaison change
almost daily so those found in our HLS templates where
placed there for training purposes. Like the structure
of a "unified" command, liaisons used in our case
studies change based on the type, scope, and duration of
the worst-case-scenario. Advanced Individual Training (AIT) Go to

To my many friends
and RM mentors around the world...
September 2005
marked my 42nd year of pounding the podium to motivate and spread
Risk Management wisdom around the world. You have all richly blessed me
with a career that's taken me to most cities in the US and countries in
the free world. I've been blessed to have worked with so many good
friends and RM professionals. You've all shared your time and
experience and in the process you've taught me much
about life in the real world. I've learned; "There are
no silver bullets" and it will take all of us working
together to ensure a safe and secure future for our
loved ones.
Now, thanks to the internet, we'll can
keep in touch, continue to share, and move out with
courage to prepare, protect, and
defend your homeland. Rich
