				      <link><![CDATA[http://www.histalk.com/events/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=611]]></link>
				      <description><![CDATA[When disaster strikes a community, it is usually not selective. Like in Joplin, Tuscaloosa or Galveston, whole communities were struck and therefore, whole communities were affected. Join us for our complimentary webinar on February 21, 2012 at 1pm ET/ 10am PT as Eddy Weiss discusses what could possibly be the critical time in your hospital&#39;s history.

While emergency management has moved closer to the forefront of discussions at most health care facilities, disaster preparedness has not. How do you know if your staff will be avaiable&#63;

Our people are still our most valuable assets and making an investment in those assets could mean the difference between standing or falling in times of disaster. How will prepared are the families of our staff&#63; If we call, will they come or will they join the majority of an unprepared public that will struggle to survive&#63; Prepared staff members living in prepared homes could make all the difference. 

Eddy Weiss is driven by an insatiable curiosity to understand the fundamental principles that create a successful life, and has earned a reputation as a leading authority in the areas of Disaster Preparedness, Strategic Planning, Disaster Mitigation and practical problem solving. Weiss tours the country as an emergency management consultant and trainer, also holding the position of Director for a national disaster response team.
