Most organizations learn a great deal after a disaster. But the harder challenge is preparing and acting before certainty exists.
On September 17th, Patrick Van Horne, co-founder of The CP Journal and co-author of Left of Bang, will walk through a practical framework for applying the left of bang concepts to get ahead of wind-driven wildfire.
Using a wildfire approaching the built environment as the case study, the session will show how organizations can define the wildfire consequences impactful for their community, identify meaningful Watch Points and Action Points, and make better operational decisions while there is still time to influence the outcome.
In this session, you will:
Learn how to define the specific wildfire consequences your organization cannot afford to be right of bang to
Understand how Watch Points and Action Points can turn situational awareness into an organizational asset
Explore how to connect early warning, decision-making, and operational capability so action happens while there is still time to influence the outcome.
