Space is almost ‘sold out’ to our ‘Think Tank‘ in New York on September 9th. The event – that will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy – will focus on how to deal with future disasters… as well as looking at a ‘Leap Year’ global disaster drill. FEMA is hosting the event and Safe America will evaluate ‘how COVID-19 will make future global events better resolved.’
High-level non-profit executives who’ve confirmed attending include GA Pacific Foundation President Curley Dossman. 
Others include: IAEM CEO Beth Armstrong; Red Cross Disaster Partners Director Earl Brown; and National Association of Counties (NACO) CEO Matt Chase. Topics include:
UGA Student Lillie Dravis will survey people in August on how COVID has impacted them mentally
- assessing the ‘best’ technology to distribute for future disaster recovery
- our ‘new’ Safe America app, being distributed for Apple and Android smartphones
- training executives to become ‘CEOs’ (‘community enhancement officers’)
Safe America will also unveil the WorldSafe Institute and members of our new ‘WorldSafe Alliance.’ and invited NGOs such as IAEM, MAP International, the Georgia Intellectual Property Alliance (GIPA), Knights of Columbus, Global Minnesota and Operation Lifesaver.
