I have been attending [Coalition trainings] for a long while and this helps me keep up on current trends and practical information to help formulate a better response in disaster settings.

AI in Emergency Preparedness:  Presenter – Greg Hayes.  Monday, 1/12/2026, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm (Virtual)  More information coming soon.

Complaints about cumbersome forms and lengthy processes often discourage teams from fully embracing the planning process.  But what if you could create an IAP in under 10 minutes for the first or second operational period—kickstarting the planning cycle for future operations? This session will not only break down the planning process but also demonstrate how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can act as your force multiplier, seamlessly integrating IAP development and realistic exercise design into daily operations and special events. In just a short time, you’ll gain a clear understanding of why an IAP is essential and how to efficiently complete one, ensuring a more effective and coordinated response powered by modern technology.
