CADRE

Cynthia Hsu participated in the CADRE (Collaborating Agencies Disaster Relief Effort) Conference @ NASA on April 30th, 2008. It was a huge success! The conference had 250 people register for the event representing various government, emergency management, and community based organizations. Cynthia had the opportunity to speak about Agency Emergency Planning with 2 other professionals in that field: Gene Sawyer, the President of the Emergency Management Association, and Franci Collins, Red Cross liaison who has done outstanding advocacy work with immigrants in Santa Clara County.

Cynthia stated about the conference: "It was an unbelievable experience and I feel so fortunate to have had this opportunity!It was very uplifting and assuring to see so many people working together to ensure that Santa Clara County has the necessarymeans and support to recover and carry on following a catastrophic disaster."
