If a disaster strikes today, are Canadian organizations prepared to deal with an emergency? COS posed this question to a panel of emergency management and health and safety leaders at a roundtable held on August 12, 2009 at the Centre for Health and Safety Innovation in Mississauga. The event was spearheaded by COS, in partnership with the Industrial Accident Prevention Association.

Discussion topics focused on the state of preparedness among Canadian organizations, the anticipated resurgence of the H1N1 flu pandemic, social networks as a tool for disaster communication and filling in the gaps for a comprehensive and effective multi-sector emergency preparedness strategy.
