Hi Everyone, Below is an updated “Emergency Management Event List” for review.  Hopefully, I captured most of the recently suggested events.  I’m happy to discuss any of these events (or others) during the Adoption call today at noon. Kind regards, Jane ___________________ List of events for review: March 24 Canadian Event TBA **Pending more information April 6-7 CAP Implementation Workshop Geneva, Switzerland http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/ISS/Meetings/WIS-CAP_Geneva2011/DocPlan.html May 8-11 ISCRAM Conference Lisbon, Portugal http://www.iscram.org/ **Working to submit a poster presentation proposal for review.
