Assistance Project

Live Response is an award winning educational/informational program produced by the National Terrorism Preparedness Institute (NTPI) of St. Petersburg College - a 60-minute satellite television broadcast and web cast featuring news styled program segments and dynamic panel discussions with leading experts who share their knowledge and experiences about terrorism awareness, prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.  Hosted by local television anchor, Al Ruechel, each program offers insightful news, unique perspectives and fascinating discussion.  Join us for our next program.  It’s your program for valuable information! 

This special edition Live Response takes a look back at two of the most watched programs of 2009.  You'll see edited highlights of the November presentation titled "Pandemic Flu Outbreak-Preparedness and Response" and December's presentation of the "Minnesota Bridge Collapse: A City Responds" which was recently awarded the prestigious Silver Communicator Award.  At the time of its original airing, the November program took a hard look at what had already become a global epidemic.  Estimates in 2009 stated that 90-million U.S. citizens would soon be effected by the disease.  Our moderator, Al Ruechel, will give important updates on where we stand with this disease today.  Is it still something to fear -- or is H1N1 truly a historical footnote of 2010?  In our December, 2009 broadcast, we listened to firemen, police, emergency managers and city officials who lived through one of the most amazing rescue efforts of our nation's history, as an eight-lane steel truss bridge collapsed into the Mississippi River in August of 2007 during the rush hour in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  We also looked at how Unified Command was able to coordinate more than 170 responding agencies during the hours following this tragedy.  In our September 2010 broadcast, we'll update the Training Needs Assistance Project (T-NAP) presented by TEEX.  This unique programs helps responders prepare for catastrophic situations in a given community.  Join us for this Special Edition Live Response!
