DRIE September 2017 Quarterly Meeting
9/13/2017

Event Description
Please join us for our September meeting to be held on Wednesday, September 13 2017, from 8:45 to noon. at the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Officer's Mess, 158 Gloucester St, Ottawa.
 
Ken Bendelier is the manager of the Cyber Situational Awareness and Liaison Team at the Canadian Cyber Incident Response Centre (CCIRC). He will talk on the Canadian Cyber Incident Response Centre and describe its role in working with all partners to increase Canada’s cyber resiliency.

In light of Hurricane Harvey, the wild fires in BC this past summer and our own Eastern Ontario/Western Quebec spring flood, your DRIE Executive have assembled an expert panel to discuss living with the aftermath. You and the panel will look at:
  • Emergency Services - What decisions are likely to present themselves immediately after the first responders leave?
  • Displacement and Relocation - With a dwelling uninhabitable, families will be required to relocate.
  • Disaster Relief and Financial Assistance – Where and how do families find and apply for needed support services or assistance, and financial aid
  • Homeowners and Renters Insurance Information – What types of coverage do households have (owner vs. tenant), acts of god, force majeure:
    • Personal Property – How are personal belongings handled and the value of having a personal property inventory (that survives the event)
    • Smoke and Water Damage - The impact of smoke and water damage
    • Dealing with Insurance Adjusters
  • Rebuilding/Repairing:
    • Estimating the Cost of Repairs
    • Selecting a Contractor
    • Hazardous Materials
  • Safety After a Disaster - Personal safety after a disaster (precautions that must be taken before entering a damaged structure, reestablishing utilities, making sure food and water are safe)
  • Recovering Valuables – Think about valuable documents and who to contact to replace them
  • Trauma Intervention and Grief Counseling – Dealing with the aftermath - trauma intervention
  • Avoiding Disaster Scams – Fly by night operators, con artists, door knockers and high-pressure sales

Key Points that an Attendee will take away from the panel discussion:

  • Participants will come away with a list of possible challenges and ideas for mitigating those challenges - possibly even learning some tips that will give their families a better chance of working through the recovery stage and getting on with their lives.
In between presenters there will be our traditional networking/coffee break that will you allow you to network with your fellow practitioners. The doors will open at 8:15 AM and a continental breakfast will be available.  We look forward to seeing you there..
