From Ruth Hathaway - Two items both regarding the Disaster Recovery Symposium 1. We had a speaker withdraw who was going to talk about the legal implications/impact for companies/businesses that fail to plan for and mitigate in disasters. Does anyone know someone that would be willing to speak on this. It is on Thursday morning. 2. FYI to all of you. If you know anyone that would be interested in hearing James Lee Witt, Former Director of FEMA, he will be talking Thurs afternoon in SF. CHAS gets headcount money for this session.
