67th Annual IAEM COnference & EMEX
Honor the past. Treasure the present. Shape the future.
In November 2019, I attended the 67th Annual IAEM Conference and EMEX in Savannah, Georgia on behalf of the University at Albany College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity.
I attended informative breakout session, engaged in crucial networking, and even met the current acting FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor.
The purpose of my trip to the conference was to present my poster on open-source intelligence. Open-source intelligence is a powerful tool for emergency managers and I am glad I had the opportunity to share my SWOT analysis with the over one-thousand conference attendees.
My poster received silver recognition in the competitive division. Additionally, I was the only undergraduate student participant in the poster showcase.
