Friends,
You are getting this email because you and I have worked together
closely (direct or indirect) in the past- and I trust you. I have
attached the briefing slides for an Exercise that several of us are
organizing designed to help us learn, adapt, and improve. Exercise 24
is a 24-hour catastrophic disaster scenario that is taking place on
Sept 24, 2010. We purposefully have not provided detailed information
yet because we need to see who will be participating, and in what
capacity. There will be organization, structure, chaos, and
uncertainty. Please take some time to think over how you an an
individual, or you as part of an organization, may want to participate.
The sky is the limit here and we can try just about anything. The title
calls this an "Exercise" but consider it a demonstration. Feel free to
take your "organizational hat" off and come play as someone with plenty
of experience in this field, or find a way to engage with your
organization. We are encouraging participation (or at least following
along) in any capacity and by no means are we trying to limit it. If
you participate, all we ask is that you play well with others and come
ready to test, break, try, fail, succeed, innovate, and experiment.
Please send this out to your networks as you see fit, and call or email
with anything, anytime.
Have a wonderful start to the week, wherever you are in the world,
Luke
