Conclave Webinar #35 - Disaster Planning

DISASTER PLANNING: DO YOU HAVE YOUR SHEETS TOGETHER?
A one hour webinar on Wednesday June 16th: 3pm ET...2pm CT...1pm MT...12n PT

What if a massive disaster hit your community? An earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood, train derailment or an oil spill? Is your station ready to warn your community (when such warning is possible) and is your station ready to help in the aftermath? Are you even sure you could stay on the air - do you have a Plan B for that?

In this webinar, we'll hear from two broadcasters who have developed action plans to deal with massive disaster in their areas. With the current problems on America's Gulf Coast, tornado and hurricane season in progress and the possibilities of flood, fire or earthquake or whatever happening at any moment almost anywhere, how would YOU respond? If you don't have a disaster plan, you'll want to be part of this webinar to get one started.

Join Conclave Board member and WARH/St. Louis air talent Jay Philpott and his special guests:
