At this meeting IREM members can expect to receive an overview of emergency management at the county level, along with preparedness information, and a glimpse into the importance of continuity of operations plans. Afterwards, a live demonstration of the Emergency Command Vehicle will be conducted. Members will be invited to tour the command vehicle and learn about the numerous capabilities this resource offers to both county emergency management, and to Real Estate Managers.
