The American Preparedness Alliance — 9/11 Two Years Later
Tara Hart
Founder and CEO
The Compliance Alliance
Houston, Texas
This dynamic speaker will present an overview of the American Preparedness Alliance, which is being developed under the auspices of The Compliance Alliance.
The American Preparedness Alliance ("APA") is emerging as a major presence among today's preparedness resources. APA was founded by The Compliance Alliance ("TCA"), which is a nationally recognized force in occupational safety for the construction industry. The TCA team of professionals realized, in the wake of duct tape mania, that Americans were desperate for a reliable information vehicle when it came to their personal safety and preparedness. Americans needed somewhere to turn to empower themselves and seek reliable advice amid the storm of controversy and chaos that has erupted first after 9/11 and again as the escalation of war, global unrest, and increased terrorism risks became a part of our every day lives.
