SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: Disaster Contracting
DESCRIPTION:Business opportunities related to disasters are often associated with specific needs such as – bottled water\, blue tarps\, and the removal of debris.

Lastly\, there are efforts and support associated with assisting affected communities to “pick up the pieces” and rebuild. This webinar will take a broader view of disasters to explore business and funding opportunities related to all phases of disaster preparation\, response and post disaster federal involvement and resources. \n  \nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nView a schedule of all upcoming Acquisition Hour webinars. \n\n
