Description

In light of recent natural disasters and their extreme impact on areas of our country where the oil & gas industry operates, it is pertinent that we discuss the industries' levels of planning and preparedness for these emergencies. As hurricane Harvey approached Texas, the oil & gas industry utilized lessons learned from previous natural disasters to secure infrastructure and work to minimize impacts from the storm. However, due to the historic devastation of Harvey, the exact impact of the storm was greater than could be anticipated. What if a hurricane was approaching San Antonio today? Would we be ready? Join your colleagues and experts to draw up an emergency preparedness program for Safety 2018 in San Antonio!
