EMS is Coming Back This Spring!

Our annual emergency management symposium returns in April

For the first time since COVID-19 hit, CCM along with the Connecticut Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS), the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP), and the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH), will be hosting the Connecticut Emergency Management Symposium (EMS). This year it will be held on Wednesday, April 27th at Aria in Prospect.

The symposium, which has been on a two-year hiatus as we managed the current pandemic, is the premier Emergency Management conference in Connecticut, attracting hundreds of local public safety officials from around the state.

EMS offers workshops, discussions, networking opportunities, and vendors with the best and newest Emergency Management technology, products, and services.

Our most recent Symposium offered sessions about School Security Best Practices, Hurricane Evacuee Recovery Support Initiatives and Long Term Recovery Lessons, Communications Failure and Recovery in Puerto Rico, the Opioid Crisis and Response, and more.

While the exhibit hall is still being filled up, there will be representatives from CCM, DEMHS, DPH, CIRMA, and more!

This is a once a year opportunity to hear from the best minds in emergency management, to network with colleagues in the same fields, and to see the latest offerings from dozens of vendors.

Registration is now open for municipal, state, and local officials. Be sure to register early as attendance is limited. As an added bonus, for our CCMO officials, EMS is three hours towards your certification.
