The Florida Division of Emergency Management is hosting the 4th Annual Public-Private
Partnership Summit January 19-20, 2016 at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort in
Walton County. The theme for the two-day event, “Identifying the Win-Win through
Public-Private Partnerships”, will focus on ways for the private sector and emergency
management to work together prior to, during, and after a disaster.
This year’s event will feature large roundtable discussions on a variety of topics, with
opportunities for the audience to engage in the discussion. Attached is the registration
form to be completed and returned to the DEM External Affairs team. Registration
deadline for the summit is Friday, January 8, 2016.
The Division recognizes the important role private sector partners play in all phases of
emergency management. Working together before a disaster to identify the needs of the
private sector and emergency management will reduce potential miscommunication
during and after an event. The roundtable discussions will focus on all phases of
emergency management with the goal to identify the ways that emergency
management can assist businesses to prepare, respond to, and recover from a disaster.
Discussions can also highlight ways the private sector can support their communities in
the event of a disaster.
