DHS CIKR Webinar Page Update – 01-15-10

On Friday DHS updated their Critical Infrastructure Key Resources Learning Series page with information about the next two webinars that will be conducted by the Department. With the December webinar having been moved to January because of the December snow storm in DC, the next two webinars will both be held in February. The next webinar will be held on February 11th and will deal with “Making effective use of visualization technology”. Conducted by Mike Clements, Branch Chief, Operations Support Branch, Infrastructure Information Collection Division, DHS Office of Infrastructure Protection (IP), the presentation will “provide an overview of the ways that IP provides context to infrastructure data through the use of Geographic Information Systems, geospatial products, and remote sensing data acquisition. The presentation will also address geospatial products and services that are available to federal, state, local, tribal, and private sector partners during both steady state and incident response situations.” The third webinar in the Winter Series will held on February 22nd and will be an update on the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards program run by the Infrastructure Security Compliance Division of NPPD. Conducted by Sue Armstrong, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection, the webinar will provide an activity and implementation update for CFATS. The site continues to provide links to previous webinars in the CIKR Learning Series. These links will allow those who missed participating live with the chance to view the webinars. Actually there are advantages to seeing these recorded webinars as they may be paused or backed up to see something that was missed. Unfortunately, there is no option for asking questions. The three webinars on the page are: Critical Infrastructure Resilience: The Next Frontier in Homeland Security Voluntary Preparedness Standards The Infrastructure Protection Security Survey: What's in It for You? All webinars are available free-of-charge. You can register for the visualization technology or the CFATS update webinars online. No registration is necessary for the recorded webinars.
