POSTINGS FROM PREVIOUS WEEKS
Private & Public Businesses, Inc.
The need for private/ public partnerships cannot be underscored. However,
many private/ public partnerships form spontaneously in response to an
emergency or disaster and are soon forgotten thereafter. With the PPBI
Private/ Public Partnerships Center, you will be able to access a database
listing all private/ public partnerships that relate to disaster recovery
and emergency management. You can look up by state, region or city. Contact
information is listed along with other facts about the partnership. In
the future you will be able to access the database from the PPBI website.
To find out more about the Private/ Public Partnerships Center, contact
Lee Goldstein at leeg@businesscontingencygroup.com.
