SUMMARY:NIOA Webinar: The Best Practice News Conference presented by Judy Pal
DESCRIPTION:A well-run news conference can calm a crisis\, while a badly run one can make headlines for all the wrong reasons—and we’ve all seen those trainwrecks. This webinar breaks down best practices and real-world examples of what separates effective news conferences from damaging ones\, starting with the most basic rule: open with actual news to announce. We’ll cover smart timing\, the right principals at the podium and the core principles that should guide every appearance\, from clarity and candor to empathy and accountability. A news conference isn’t simply a media moment—it’s a critical tool for providing credible information and helping maintain or rebuild public trust when it matters most.

SUMMARY:EMEAA Webinar: Trafficking Risks in Disasters: Spotting & Supporting Survivors for PIOs & Emergency Teams with Sandra Dennis-Essig
DESCRIPTION:Disasters create chaos\, displacement\, and vulnerability—conditions that traffickers often exploit. For public information officers and emergency management professionals\, understanding these risks is an essential part of protecting the communities they serve. \nIn this timely webinar\, Sandra Dennis-Essig\, Counter Human Trafficking Advisor to EMEAA\, will explore how disasters can increase the risk of human trafficking and what communication professionals and emergency teams can do to help identify and support potential survivors. \n“Trafficking Risks in Disasters: Spotting & Supporting Survivors for PIOs & Emergency Teams” will provide practical guidance on recognizing trafficking red flags during crisis situations\, communicating survivor-centered messaging\, and connecting vulnerable individuals with appropriate services. Drawing from real-world disaster response experiences and survivor advocacy work\, Sandra will share actionable protocols that emergency management and public information professionals can integrate into preparedness\, response\, and recovery operations. \nParticipants will leave with a clearer understanding of how trafficking risks emerge during disasters—and how communications teams can play a vital role in protecting vulnerable populations. \nSandra Dennis-Essig serves as the Counter Human Trafficking Advisor to the Emergency Management External Affairs Association (EMEAA). A graduate of the National Disaster and Emergency Management University with FEMA\, DHS\, and CISA certifications\, she has worked closely with the New Jersey Coalition Against Human Trafficking as a survivor advocate and speaker. Sandra is the author and co-author of several articles on human trafficking and emergency management\, and she speaks nationally on integrating trafficking awareness into disaster preparedness and response.
