Busy opening morning. Looks like everyone got here Ok, which is good. It is also nice that the weather held up and is sunny. Last thing an emergency management conference needs is to have a start that requires us to be potential victims in one of Colorado's early-year winter storms...
This morning opened with a great moderator, Jon Karroll of http://www.krdo.com who ran this morning's activities, including a presentation by both the Colorado Springs Police Color Guard and an incredible demonstration by the Pikes Peak Region Police Pipe and Drum Band. For pictures, be sure to check out out our twitpic feeds from attendees by going to http://search.twitter.com and looking up #coemcon
These presentations were followed by a presentation by the representative of the Governor's Office, Dr. Susan Kirkpatrick, the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Local Affairs and then by the keynote speaker, Lucien Canton (http://www.luciencanton.com).
Lucien will also be speaking on a Recovery Lessons Learned panel later today and we are all looking forward to hearing from his experiences to help us learn how to enhance our disaster recovery plans here in Colorado.
We even got Hans Kallam, Director of the Division of Emergency Management, to do an interview with http://www.krdo.com so look for that tonight! Will post a link here when it is available.
As we move forward, come back and visit because the handouts, presentations and other pics and videos will be linked here. If you need anything during the conference, be sure to stop by the front desk/registration table or just give me a call at (303) 472-4087 and we'll see how we can help! Thanks - Brandon (brandon.williams@state.co.us)
