Network Featured in Earthquake Simulation
The Business Civic Leadership Center (BCLC), the philanthropic voice
for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, hosted an open summit for business
leaders in conjunction with the Disaster Assistance and Recovery
program. One of three business-designated programs offered by the
BCLC, this event focused on a disaster simulation for States in the
New Madrid Fault Zone. The land area encompasses several states and
has been site of the four largest North American earthquakes recorded.
Our organization was a featured presenter, sharing the many solutions
the Aidmatrix Network can provide during this type of disaster,
including assistance to businesses in getting the Right Aid to the
Right People at the Right Time. The forum outlined ways businesses
can communicate, coordinate and collaborate with each other (and those
in the nonprofit and government sectors) for meaningful support in
issues surrounding disasters.
