Conference brings together thought leaders and experts in Preparedness and Safety
Portsmouth, NH and Melbourne, FL (PRWEB) November 26, 2008 -- Lou Altman, GlobaFone's CEO has accepted an speaking engagement at the second annual Conference on National Preparedness in Melbourne, FL taking place December 7th--9th. Mr. Altman's talk, 'The Critical use of Satcom in the Four Stages of Emergency Management' will highlight for the audience and webcast viewers how crucial satellite communications have become in preparing for, riding out, and responding to disasters of any magnitude.
"Satellite communications have evolved into such a critical communications tool in all kinds of emergencies, they need to be fully integrated into the start of the emergency planning process," Altman said, "Unfortunately most people only think of Satcom as a critical solution after the disaster has happened and communications have broken down."
Dr. Clifford Bragdon, Chair of the Conference remarked, "As Chairman for the 2nd Annual Conference on National Preparedness, we are very excited that CEO Lou Altman, has agreed to be a featured invited speaker and that GlobaFone will be an exhibit partner, at this prestigious Conference." Bragdon added, "We are fortunate to have such an important communications resource as GlobaFone in the United States to assist the security based community in accomplishing their critical missions, without intervention." Altman added. "I am grateful to Cliff for this opportunity and warmly accepted his invitation to speak".
A satellite industry veteran, Altman said, "The Conference on National Preparedness will be a great environment for people to hear the thought leaders in a variety of areas related preparedness, and I personally look forward to hearing many of the other speakers." The conference will have sessions covering a wide array of areas related to preparedness; cyber security, homeland security, transportation issues, interoperability and will feature dignitaries such as Major General Mike Sumrall and DHS' Science and Technology Secretary Jay Cohen.
