Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section Initiative on Disaster Preparedness and Response

Welcome to the ABA Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section's series of podcasts, teleconferences, and live programs dedicated to Disaster Preparedness and Response. Spearheaded by TIPS Immediate Past Chair, Randy Aliment, and Co-Sponsored by Thomson Reuters, it addresses issues arising out of disasters caused by foreign and domestic acts of terrorism, negligent acts, natural events and threats to our cyber-security and confronts the issues of preparedness, risk management, recovery and response, liability, insurance, claims and litigation.

During the 2011-2012 year, the Initiative delivered several CLE productions, programs and meetings in coordination with several other ABA Sections and Special Standing Committees and eight law schools in Washington, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Illinois. The principle mission is to communicate awareness so that effective disaster planning may be achieved from lessons learned during past disasters and to emphasize the current state of preparedness. Available now as a valuable resource is a series of teleconferences/webinars that commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 al-Qaeda attacks on America. Additionally, is a series of podcasts on Disaster Preparedness and Response and the programs that TIPS presented during the 2011-12 Fall, Midyear, Spring and Annual Meetings. This initiative is dedicated to those who have lost their lives to disasters. We hope you find it to be an informative and valuable resource.
