Temporary Text - 11/1/94 mw







The Emergency Information Infrastructure (EII) Project is an effort



to foster the development and application of advanced telecommunications



networks in support of the emergency management community as a whole.







The ``emergency management community'' includes government agencies,



community-based organizations, businesses and corporations, media,



and the public.  At one time or another, virtually everyone takes 



some role in the emergency-management community.







This session will bring together leaders in network technology



with practitioners of emergency management to identify ways the



Internet can help communities adapt, adjust, and overcome both



large-scale disasters and day-to-day emergencies.
