AUGUSTA — Technology can help us respond to all kinds of emergencies, but what happens when the best technologies break down or, worse, are the source of their own kind of emergency?
Those questions will be addressed during a gathering of emergency responders from across the state at the Augusta Civic Center this week. Taking place Tuesday and Wednesday, the eighth annual Maine Partners in Emergency Preparedness Conference will focus on two topics that recognize the growing reliance on technology and the things that can go wrong because of it: cybersecurity and catastrophic power outages.
On Tuesday, the conference will focus on cybersecurity. A keynote discussion at 11:15 a.m. will highlight some of the risks people face whenever they use modern technology, as well as some of the efforts around Maine to prepare for those risks. The panel will include Chet Lunner, retired deputy undersecretary for intelligence at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; Tammy Plummer, executive vice president and chief information officer at First National Bank; and Marshall Tracy, head of information security at IDEXX Laboratories.
