Emergency Preparedness in the United States and Israel


Thursday, April 22, 8:00 p.m.
The Schapiro Auditorium


Guest speaker: Howard S. Gwon, M.S., Administrator, Office of Emergency Management for Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Johns Hopkins Health System Corporate Departments

Following a visit to Israel where he met extensively with emergency management officials, Mr. Gwon was struck by the differences of preparedness and planned response between Israel and the United States in the event of a mass casualty event.  Are we prepared in Baltimore?  Are we prepared at Beth El?  Are you prepared?!


This event is jointly sponsored by the Israel Affairs Committee and the Safety & Security Committee.
