The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized tool that organizations of all types can use to manage both emergencies and planned events. By establishing common processes and structure, ICS also allows for better coordination and integration of resources even during large and complex incidents. Join ZAHP at 2:30pm ET on March 1st to learn how zoos are applying ICS to improve preparedness and response. In this webinar panelists provide practical examples of how their facilities have used ICS to manage different situation; reviewing lessons learned and sharing insights that can help other facilities with implementation. A live Q & A will follow presentations and participants are welcome to submit questions in advance using the “questions and comments” box on the event registration form. This webinar will be recorded.
Panelists:
- Amber Acord – Senior Facilities and Grounds Manager, Akron Zoo
- Anne Knapp – Director of Safety and Security, Zoo New England
- Sarah Perry – Security Manager, Detroit Zoo
