The Public Risk Management Association said it will stage two virtual seminars, one dealing with park safety risks and another with disaster response.
"Managing Risk in Parks and Recreation Entities: Issues and Solutions,"
is scheduled for Oct. 26, 2:30 p.m. EDT, PRIMA said.
The seminar, to be given by Doug Wyseman, a risk and recreation specialist, will focus on risk management and liability issues associated with public parks and recreation facilities.
PRIMA said the session is designed to help public entities identify emerging issues and outline responsibilities public-sector recreation employees are charged with in assuring the public's safety and well-being.
The group said the second virtual seminar--"Responding to Disasters: Experiences in Hurricane Recovery from Florida"--will be held Nov. 1, 1:00 p.m.-2:30 p.m. EST.
This seminar features Wayne Teegardin, risk manager, St. Lucie, Fla. County Board of County Commissioners, who will share his experience with the impact of major disasters on small government entities as well as response and recovery efforts.
Mr. Teegardin serves in an Army Reserve Civil Affairs unit and has responded to natural disasters and civic disturbances worldwide, PRIMA said.
