Safe Cities Summit November 14-15 2012 Hilton London Metropole PR Newswire LONDON, August 16, 2012 LONDON, August 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Safe Cities Summit. Developed in association with our knowledge partners Frost & Sullivan and working closely with the Emergency Planning College, the Safe Cities Summit combines interactive workshops, standalone presentations and international case studies, creating a must-attend event for decision makers from across the international security and resilience value chain, from local government authorities, emergency services and utilities to private sector security professionals and equipment suppliers. Whether events are low level - vandalism, graffiti or anti-social behaviour or, catastrophic such as terrorism, natural disaster or industrial accident, there are myriad separate organisations, both public and private, with interconnected responsibilities for keeping us safe. Keeping a city's population and its infrastructure safe depends on these stakeholders working collaboratively especially where large scale civil emergencies are involved. Traditionally organisations involved in the delivery of safety and security have approached risk from their own individual perspectives and focussed on their own areas of responsibility. In order to provide an acceptable level of safety and security, organisations must recognise the interconnected nature of modern society's risks and the interdependencies of its communities.
