MEETINGS & MEDIA
For Closed Meetings
The AHC policy for its closed meetings is to provide a private and operations focused environment for government and industry stakeholders to discuss issues and develop possible processes, procedures, or solutions to address problems. These meetings include working groups, task force committees, problem-solving committees, and other types of meetings not open to the general public.
Open Meetings
The AHC also conducts open meetings that require all attendees to register and provide a valid name, organization, email, mailing address, etc. These meetings include educational webinars, training sessions, and regional/national summit meetings.
Media
A "no media" policy is enforced for all AHC meetings. The AHC staff will do their best to maintain a no media policy. If media personnel register for a meeting, meeting staff will contact them and redirect them to the appropriate media contacts and channels. The AHC does not speak for any organization in industry or government and does not conduct media interviews that are not related to AHC press releases.
If media inquiries are made regarding a specific topic or presentation, AHC staff will forward that request to the appropriate individuals/organizations to process the request through the appropriate media channels.
Speaker / Presenters at Meetings
As a practical approach, speakers and presenters should use their discretion and consider not discussing any secret or sensitive information during these types of meetings, including in-person meetings or virtual meetings like webinars, conference calls, etc.
Recordings
Any photography, screen captures, recording and/or redistribution of information of AHC meetings or content is prohibited.
LEGAL DISCLAIMERS
As with all disasters, information is subject to change without notice. The All Hazards Consortium, its working groups and committees, the companies, associations, and government agencies and representatives involved expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any use of this information by its recipient.
