About This Conference Federal, state, local and private providers of medical services must continue planning for their role in the consequence management mission, a mission where success will be heavily dependent on the ability of the medical community to create a seamless architecture of response and support across the operational continuum. The Medical Aspects of Disaster Management Conference will bring together leading experts in the field of medical planning and consequence management in order to assist federal, state, local and private stakeholders to become better informed in the event of a medical disaster. Through discussion of recent events and lessons learned from responders and medical experts' experiences in the field, attendees will learn the tools needed to help shape their organization's role in the medical consequence management mission. Speakers include members of federal, state, local and academia who have on-site experience leading and coordinating medical response in events such as the 9/11 attacks, Hurricane Katrina, the Tokyo Sarin attacks and the Polonium poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko. Attendees will conclude the conference with an interactive roundtable discussion that will cover the elements needed to write an emergency preparedness medical plan and how to conduct training exercises based on plans already in place. This interactive, facilitated, discussion will allow conference attendees to walk away with a readiness plan, or revisions to their respective agency or organization's current plan. By using real world examples in an interactive setting, this conference is a must attend for anyone involved in disaster management and medical first response. Speakers will focus on the following areas:
