Summer2008 WAS*IS

I am currently a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay pursuing a Master’s in Environmental Science and Policy with a focus in Resource Management. I recently completed a certificate in Emergency Management at that same institution. My thesis work is focused on how organizations perceive, assess and manage the risks of natural disasters to their organizations and communities. I also work with the Outagamie County Emergency Management Department on a variety of grants addressing the organization of their Emergency Operations Center, emergency planning for daycares, and cooperation between the public and private sectors for planning and resource utilization. This conference represents a great opportunity for me to learn more about the weather that affects my planning and my community and to meet and connect with people who share my interest in how these fields are intertwined.
