Operating in the dark: plan and execute offline continuity and response

Hurricane season isn't over, wildfires persist, and the AI-driven threat to critical infrastructure is accelerating. Both can produce the same condition: no power, no network, degraded systems, and a response that still has to execute. Most continuity plans quietly assume everything will be working. This webinar is about closing that gap.

Join global risk solutions experts from GA Group

Duane Lohn, President of GA Risk Solutions (Part of GA Group) and Senior Managing Director & Subject Matter Expert, Richard Lowery, each have more than 30 years' experience leading top enterprise and government organizations through emergency and operational resilience in the face of countless incidents.

They will address how, when a natural event knocks out power and cell towers, or a cyberattack takes down the infrastructure you depend on, your emergency response still has to happen, often with fewer tools than you planned for. They will share best practices from emergency managers and business continuity leaders from the world's most resilient enterprises to help stay reachable, accountable, and operational when connectivity, power, or their primary systems go offline.

• Turning continuity plans into role-based task lists that execute the same way whether your team is at a desk or in a parking lot with one bar of signal.
