I visited the amazing Chase Manhatten Plaza to attend a conference ran by an organisation called Contingency Planning Exchange (CPE). JP Morgan were hosting the event, and on arrival I was asked to attend the 60th floor!! On arrival the view was the first thing I noticed (Picture below). It was simply stunning.
After networking over coffee and cookies, the Conference began. Some very interesting speakers followed. Lieutenant Kevin Fowler from the New Jersey State Police spoke about the Trans Hudson Emergency NJ/NY plan. He has written a plan to get people home to New Jersey from New York in the event of an emergency such as a 'blackout'.
A colleague called Steve Gutkin (who I have already spent a day with) spoke next about his team, called The Regional Catastrophic Planning Team (picture above). Steve introduced me to the audience, which was quite an experience!
