'Wireless Alerting Crash Course' newly added for Saturday, Nov. 12
IAEM
Learn how to get up and running with wireless alerts! Wireless alerting is a game changer. Public safety managers who use wireless alerts are quickly reaching the public with lifesaving information even when cellular networks are jammed. However, many public safety managers are hesitant to use it because they don't know where to get started, don't know enough about it, or heard stories about it not working right. By attending this session, you'll learn from the best and get the facts. You'll learn how wireless alerting works, best practices and lessons learned, and what's being done to expand wireless alerting around the world. Alert origination and technical experts will provide you with applicable knowledge and answer the questions you were afraid to ask. This course, sponsored by Oasis Management Group, will be held 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12 and will include lunch. The cost is $75 for conference attendees who have registered at the full, speaker, or student registration rates. To join the course, visit the IAEM website, go to the dashboard, on your dashboard click on "My Registrations", then "View Registration" for the IAEM 2022 Annual Conference. Add this event in the available functions section, click the continue button on the bottom right, and then the blue update registration button at the bottom right to complete your registration.
