Culling through the information on the Internet takes time. Working through what is good, what is bad and what is purely commercial can be cumbersome. But, occasionally an organization uses the technology to disseminate interesting and worthwhile information. Part of the mission of Criminal Justice Online is to surf, cull and evaluate for you.
About the EIIP and the Virtual Forum
The Emergency Information Infrastructure Project is a non-profit educational organization, dedicated to enhancing the practice of emergency management, and thereby public safety, through offering professional development opportunities to practitioners and other interested persons. The principal way they work to achieve their goal is through presentations in the "Virtual Forum" of timely, disaster-related topics by experts in their fields, by means of Internet-based 'Live Chat' (text) technology. There is no charge to participants, and all are welcome.
Online, interactive and informative
The EIIP is to started off the New Year with a 'live chat' presentation and interactive Q&A session on January 11, 2006. Their topic was proposed revisions to the 2007 edition of NFPA 1600: Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs. NFPA 1600 serves as the base document for the Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP) Standard, and under a recent agreement, will serve as the base document for the development of a new Canadian standard.
Their guest was Lloyd W. Bokman, Chair of the Technical Committee on Disaster/ Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs and U.S. Dept. of Energy Liaison/Emergency Planner with the Ohio Emergency Management Agency. He previously worked as a hazardous materials and radiological emergency response planner with Ohio EMA.
