On September 1, 2021, an EF-3 tornado struck Gloucester County with winds of up to 150 mph that tore a more than 12-mile path from Harrison Township to Deptford Township.  This required a response from local, county, state, and federal resources.  Key members of the response from Harrison Township Fire Department, Gloucester County OEM, and New Jersey OEM will discuss the response and recovery efforts.  

Speakers will provide a brief overview and analysis of the events and throughout their discussion will identify areas of strength in their response capabilities, agency interoperability, and communications; as well discuss the lessons learned from this event that have helped plan for the future.  

This is an opportunity for all attendees to see firsthand the intricacies of a multi-agency response to a large-scale incident using ICS /EOC and technology, and the challenges faced during the recovery phase (debris removal, donation management, PDAs).   

Pre-registration is required.
