Janet Dilling, Director of the Florida Public Affairs Center at Florida State University and President of TEAM Simulations, Inc, was the featured speaker in the November 17 Virtual Classroom. With over 15 years experience in crisis management in the military, local and state government, and the private sector, Janet overviewed her work at Florida Public Affairs Center, the emergency management certificate program at FSU, and the university's future plans for distance learning.

The Florida Public Affairs Center (FPAC) serves state, local, and national governments through applied research, training, and technical assistance. FPAC's specialty areas are training and curriculum development, emergency management, information systems, and policy analysis. Highlighted in Janet's discussion was the Resource Identification Strategy, a web-based database that provides searchable information on funding programs for local and state emergency managers. The RIS is particularly helpful for identifying recovery and mitigation funding. (See link above.)
