Mangano To Host June 12th Emergency Preparedness Seminar For Businesses

Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano announced today that he will host the first of its kind Disaster Preparedness Seminar for Nassau County businesses on June 12th at the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management in Bethpage. The free seminar will run from 6-8 p.m.

County Executive Mangano will lead this first-ever municipally sponsored seminar, which will feature a panel of experts who will discuss the lessons learned from Superstorm Sandy. Topics will include business continuity issues, insurance issues, document management, government resources available for assistance, and how to plan for and manage your business in an emergency.

“Hurricane Sandy damaged and destroyed many Nassau County businesses,” said County Executive Mangano. “My administration is working with local businesses to help them recover from the devastation caused by the super storm. With the start of Hurricane Season, it’s important to study the lessons learned from the past and put them to work so that businesses can be prepared should mother nature strike again in the future.”
