6. SEERN in a Nutshell Act as translators between ‘Red-tape’ and Red-ink’ Use our regional strength and focus to link State based initiatives into Regional sharing of best practices Energy Sector (Southern Seven) H5N1 Avian Flu/ Pandemic planning Campus Safety exercise in fall of 2009 (Multi- State)

7. SEERN & Campus Safety? So I’ve snowed you long enough – time to get to Campus Security. . . 3 legged stool – or the intersection of three things: - “Target Midtown” FTX 2005 (GA Tech & Sprint-Nextel) - Dreadful Nightmare – Spring, 2008 - Strong relationship with IACLEA (Outreach)

8. “Target Midtown” Field Training Exercise in 2005 – MARTA transit station Georgia Tech & Sprint-Nextel were big drivers GT was using a ‘Groove’ System to run operations Discovered BellSouth (now AT&T) evacuation route was directly into the quad where those two liter bottles of frothing liquid were found (10/10/05) - Video

9. Nightmare – March 2008 Eve Marie Carson - UNC Student Body President Lauren Burk - Auburn University Potential misreporting – Cable News – SE Fusion Cntrs Both violently shot Both Georgians. . .
