From Lillian McDonald - TPT, Twin Cities Public Television:
Thanks to the BCPA for being an engaging group! My hope is members might be interested in continuing conversations with TPT in case you wish to be part of developing the "Be Healthy. Be Safe. Be Ready." TV Channel. We could use support from private-sector leaders in a few ways: 1) Join our Community Resiliency Council and help shape the channel (daily and emergency use). 2) Sponsor program content (low cost and great PR for corporations). 3) Provide program content (I'm hoping to meet with Xcel Energy. Do you have a connection with Center Point Energy?).
If you are interested in any of the above options, I'd be happy to connect.

To name a few; fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, active shooters, and cyber threats are all common events disrupting our lives and continuity of doing business.
