Learning from Crisis: The Boston Blackout, 1:45 to 3 p.m., Central, September 25. (Location: S100a)
A fire in an electrical substation brought down the electrical grid in the center of Boston. Office towers, hotels and neighborhoods were plunged into complete darkness. Trains stopped, elevators halted and safety and security departments shifted into crisis mode. Fears of toxic fumes from the resulting fires further complicated crisis management efforts, leading to an order to shelter for thousands of people in buildings near the fire. After a three-day outage, many valuable lessons were learned about emergency protocols, security response, building systems, business recovery and population management. Participants will gain an understanding about how this one event activated multiple emergency plan components. Presenters include Paul Caruso, Senior District Manager in Boston for AlliedBarton, and Alan Snow, CPP, Director, Safety and Security for Boston Properties.
Instill a Safety Culture in a Security Program, 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., Central, September 25. (Location: S401a)
Attendees will gain an understanding about why a comprehensive safety program is the basis of a quality security program and how it can enhance their organization's brand and that of their partner organizations. Participants will be able to utilize the information shared to assess their current security programs and implement best practices and safety standards. AlliedBarton presenters include Brent O'Bryan, Vice President, Learning and Development, Rik Lisko, Vice President, Business Development, and Julie Havel, Corporate Safety Manager.
