Emergency Preparedness & Hazmat Response Conference USA

The conference was full of seminars and training workshops covering a vast array of topics such as: –

• Preparing for large scale events
• Active shooter preparedness and response measures for public gatherings
• Mass shooting incidents
• Social Media strategies for emergency management
• Hazmat medical response in the hot zone
• Hospital emergency response
• Rail incident preparedness and response

….. to name but a few.

The exhibition gave companies the opportunity to meet with key decision makers in the preparedness and prevention field and showcase the latest emergency solutions.

Lynn Moloney, from Advanced Egress Solutions, presented delegates with the latest evacuation solutions available. This range included evacuation devices for the rescue of babies right up to bariatric individuals.

Featured products included –
