Texas Panhandle Association of Business Planners (EOC, 8AM)

The May ABP meeting has been postponed to Friday, June 7. Two of our members, Joe Minshew (TDEM District Coordinator) and Jeff Spence (Blackmon Mooring) were recently sent to West, TX to help with operations. Joe ran Donations Management and Jeff is currently helping in the recovery/cleanup process. We thought that this would be a good opportunity for them to share some of their experiences, lessons learned, and pictures to the group as well as how we could tie our business partners into lessons learned or gather ideas. Please feel free to invite anyone you feel would benefit from this meeting. http://businessready.amarillo.gov

Any business/organization in the Texas Panhandle is welcome to the Amarillo/Potter/Randall Emergency Operations Center. The main purpose of the group is to network, discuss recent emergencies/disasters, and enhance business/local government emergency planning. The group meets every other month, on the second Thursday at 8AM-9AM at the EOC (808 S. Buchanan). For additional information, please contact Maribel Martinez at 806-378-9315.
