Tripepi Smith Senior Business Analyst Peter Johnson will attend the California Association of Public Information Officials (CAPIO) Emergency Communications Academy from July 21–22 in Sacramento.
Held at the Marriott Rancho Cordova and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) headquarters, the Emergency Communications Academy brings together communications professionals from across the state for a unique, hands-on training experience focused on crisis and risk communications.
The multi-day academy features training sessions, presentations and interactive exercises designed to strengthen attendees’ ability to navigate high-pressure communication scenarios. Participants will learn effective, cutting-edge tactics and strategies informed by lessons learned from real-world emergencies and disasters taught by public safety experts from federal, state and local agencies, including FEMA, Cal OES and CAL FIRE.
“Clear communication is critical during emergencies, especially when communities are looking for timely and accurate information,” said Peter. “I’m excited for the opportunity to learn from industry leaders and gain practical insights that can help support our clients and the communities they serve.”
