The topic of the July 24th program will be “Operational and Scene Security”. During a WMD event or other critical incident, first responders need to be familiar with the OPSEC process. Understanding threats and adversaries is vital to National Security. Proper use and understanding of OPSEC is a valuable way to enhance existing response plans and preparedness. Live Response expert guests welcome phone calls concerning implications of new technologies and invite viewers to network during the program in our interactive chat-room.
The program is designed exclusively for the civilian and military emergency response communities at all levels and across all disciplines. “Live Response” also helps local, state, and federal administrators stay informed of WMD resources and operational considerations that may impact their communities.
Confirmed guests are:
- Peter C. Cusolito, LTC, IN Commander, 1st (WMD) CST
- Leonard Deonarine, Deputy Fire Chief, Industrial Emergency Services
