Safe America Webinars

The Safe America Foundation is pleased to offer a series of webinars as part of our 'Drill Down for Safety' national program. Through this program, Americans are demonstrating their level of preparedness by practicing various activities in September, which is National Preparedness Month.

In 2009, the Safe America Foundation held its inaugural 'Drill Down for Safety' program and in partnering with governmental agencies, businesses, nonprofit organizations, groups, families, and other stakeholders – over 400,000 Americans at 127 sites/cities in 24 states did a preparedness activity!

The webinar series typically are one hour webinars of 40 minutes of presentation followed by 20 minutes of questions and answers. The presenters are subject matter experts from public and private sectors. We look forward to your participation.
