New Strategies for Regional Disaster Mitigation and Response
A preservation conference presented by SOLINET Wednesday, April
28, 1999, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM at the Sheraton Colony Square Hotel,
Atlanta, Georgia
Supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the
Humanities.
This conference provides a forum for issues in regional disaster
preparedness and response. The goal is to provide participants with a
framework for planning disaster response in their communities,
including information about relevant state, regional, and national
resources available to assist in planning and response. Case studies
from a variety of perspectives offer practical information on
responding to disasters affecting large areas. A special focus is
FEMA's (Federal Emergency Management Agency) Project Impact, designed
to break the cycle of disaster-rebuilding-disaster by emphasizing
preparation/prevention, such as building safer buildings,
strengthening existing infrastructures, and developing and
maintaining detailed disaster response plans. Collaborative
strategies are an important element of the approach. Conference
speakers are: Darryl Barksdale, Planner and Grant Administrator,
Georgia State Historic Preservation Office; Hilary A. Kaplan,
Conservator, Georgia Department of Archives and History and
Director, Southeast Regional Conservation Association (SERCA); John
Ketchum, Program Coordinator, FEMA; Kent Kocher, Local Government
Assistance Coordinator, Mississippi Department of Archives & History;
Lynn Wampler, City Administrator for Fayetteville, Tennessee, a
Project Impact Community; Jane Long, Director, National Task Force on
Emergency Response, Heritage Preservation; Frank Willis, Mayor of
Florence, South Carolina, a Project Impact Community.
