Inauguration Awareness Information Exchange

Friday, January 15
11:00 a.m. ET
Open to the Public

 

Description

This special event TechBurst will be a facilitated discussion around members’ threat-awareness and preparations regarding potential civil unrest related to upcoming US Inauguration events. Special attention will focus on institutions connected to or located in US State Capitols and other regions with heightened risks.  

Although we are not advertising it widely, we will use public sharing settings for this TechBurst. REN-ISAC members are encouraged to invite relevant stakeholders such as emergency personnel from your institution to attend and participate. Attendees will have opportunity to ask questions and share appropriate information, tips, tools, and resources.

Members may send questions, concerns, or comments in advance; we will share your messages with the panelists as they come in. Send to techburst@ren-isac.net by 9:30am (US Eastern) on Friday for advance consideration.
