Overcoming Tornado Destruction and Prospering

Course Overview

On April 10, 2011, a tornado in Merrill, Wisconsin destroyed the Northcentral Technical College (NTC) Public Safety Center of Excellence, which served about 4,000 students. Along with local businesses and area residents, NTC cleaned up the rubble and completely rebuilt the facility within two years into an expanded public safety campus. Learn how NTC applied its Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans to deal with the devastation, and turned that devastation into an opportunity by implementing a vision for a regional training site.
