PSPR2 Seminar: Post Incident Scams and Fraud

The Private Sector Preparedness Response and Recovery (PSPR2): Mass Casualty Impact and Recovery Seminar Series will share critical infrastructure best practices, valuable lessons, and planning resources and tools to assist with mass casualty impact and recovery. The 9-part series will bring together experts from the business community as well as Local, State, and the Federal government who have dealt with these events firsthand to deliver this ground-breaking seminar series and provide business the means to develop their own nuanced “playbook” for similar events. Traumatic events are not immune to those who want to take advantage of the situation for their own personal gain. Session 8 will help participants navigate the avenues of exploitation and prepare managers and employees against potential scams and scammers who see tragedy as an opportunity. By approaching this subject holistically, it is PSPR2’s hope that we can begin to prepare the private sector to navigate the layers of complexity that often can threaten the very existence of businesses, and the lives of both their employees and customers in the communities they serve.
