Social Media and Disaster Planning
Floods, tornadoes, earthquakes – it seems that not a week goes by without news of a major natural disaster wreaking havoc somewhere in the world.

Social Media Club looks at on-line privacy and security issues
Please note our new location!
We’ve recruited Victoria’s top privacy and security experts – Kris Constable and Chris Parsons – to lead a discussion and answer your questions about on-line privacy and security issues, at our April meeting.
Kris Constable is a leading privacy advocate and an expert in information security. A former global security expert for Nortel in Ottawa, Kris has been in Victoria for the past several years. He operates his own company, PrivaSecTech, which specializes in providing technical advice to organizations looking to strengthen their privacy and security policies and practices, as well as conducting audits and incident investigations. Kris is also the founder of Victoria’s very successful Ideawave conference.
