OP3 Conference – For Ohio Companies Concerned About Disaster Prevention, Response & Recovery

Ohio Emergency Management Agency
Ohio Public Private Partnership Conference
Cleveland State University
June 23, 2015

In an effort to increasingly serve Ohioans before, during and after a disaster, the Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) relies on strong partnerships between citizens, government, and private business. To strengthen these partnerships across the state, ODPS created the Ohio Public Private Partnership (OP3) program, an initiative designed to provide current information and situational awareness on disaster prevention, response, and recovery efforts to state agency and business executives, allowing decisions and resources to best support the needs of the impacted community.

OP3 aims to: • Assist public and private sector entities with returning to normal operations in the wake of a disaster by sharing critical information with OP3 members • Provide situational awareness of imminent threats on a need to know basis through voluntary information sharing between OP3 members • Build a comprehensive network of businesses, associations, and state agencies to jointly participate in disaster prevention, planning, response, and recovery efforts.

On Tuesday, June 23, OP3 will hold its first Northern Ohio Regional Conference at Cleveland State University.

They have a great lineup of speakers, beginning with a Cleveland State University perspective on University Emergency Preparedness, as well as speakers from Verizon and Lowe’s on Business Continuity and Business Response and Recovery efforts.

Our keynote speaker is a special agent from the Federal Bureau of Investigation who will speak about protection and coordination from a federal perspective, as well as preparations for the 2016 Republican National Convention to be held in Cleveland in July, 2016.
