An "Explosive" Kick-Off ! Multi Risk Strategies enters the world of multimedia "Bomb Threat Management" available
online !
Multi Risk Strategies and EducExpert are proud to launch their
first e-learning course on bomb threat management during the World Conference
on Disaster Management to be held in Toronto from June 19 to June 23. Visitors
will have the opportunity to witness exclusive presentations that will demonstrate
the user friendliness and expert content of this training tool. Public works, exploratory drilling, fireworks. In industrialized societies, the use of explosives takes many forms and contributes to the development of infrastructures and sometimes even public enjoyment. But what happens when disgruntled employees or pressure groups use explosives for less noble purposes? The subject of bomb threats and suspicious packages can sometime be considered almost taboo. We often tell ourselves that it could never happen to us. Is this what the people of Spain had thought before March 11th 2004? International tensions and the threat of terrorism have increased organizations' awareness of their vulnerability to explosives. Since actions in the first 30 to 60 minutes following a bomb threat call are crucial, risk management programs must now include the proper response to such calls, which heavily depend on internal expertise and resources. An exclusive partnership On May 18th 2004, during the Quebec Fire Chiefs Association's 36th annual convention, we were proud to announce the creation of an exclusive partnership with EducExpert, a recognized leader in the development of Internet-based training programs. Since February 2004, Multi Risk Strategies has provided expertise and specialized course content which EducExpert has used in the creation of specific online training modules. Over the next five years we expect to create up to 15 similar training programs, the first of which will be unveiled in Toronto. "This new milestone in our training activities highlights not only our entry into the world of web based interactive training programs but the great flexibility of the risk management solutions we propose," affirms Michel C. Doré, president of Multi Risk Strategies. This first interactive training program in the field of risk management will contribute to the creation of a sustainable culture of public safety, a fundamental goal for Multi Risk Strategies.A boom for your organization!

Barbeau, president of EducExpert, the association with a skilled partner like Multi Risk Strategies to create this training program was natural given the culture of both companies. ¨Multi Risk Strategies' reputation in the field of risk management is second to none.
