The COVID-19 Pandemic has created complex challenges for all levels of government and higher education campuses. Throughout the year, agencies and schools have responded with various declarations of emergency, school closures, lockdowns, and other restrictions to slow the spread of the virus. With a vaccine planned to be distributed by the end of 2020 and into 2021, how are agencies preparing for the new year?


Join us for Lessons Learned from 2020 Public Safety Challenges for a webinar on how agencies and institutions have responded to the pandemic and how organizations are preparing for 2021. You will hear from experts from our COVID-19: The Road to Recovery Autumn Symposium on their strategies to contain the spread of the virus and how they are preparing for the year ahead.
