The focus of the presentation should include new processes, technologies, techniques and/or tools, and creative and innovative ideas used for emergency preparedness. The presentation should demonstrate a successful approach to at least one of the four phases of emergency preparedness (mitigation, preparation, response and recovery), and relate to the Joint Commission's standards.

Presentation proposals must be submitted via an online registration form available at www.jcrinc.com/callforpresentations2010/. The deadline for submission is August 15, 2009.  Questions may be e-mailed to EPrep2010@jcrinc.com.
