COVID-19 SECURITY SOLUTIONS. HELP OR BE HELPED.

We are not in this on our own, we can help each other respond in our professional capacity to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sharing Is a way to do that.

In fact, when asked why they joined the PSC, a majority of members included comments such as “sharing,” “helping others,” and “contributing” to the profession” in their response.

Now is the time and opportunity.

At the end of this message is a starter list of questions about the impact and response to COVID-19.

It is not a comprehensive list, merely a kick start.

Anything you can offer may aid others in devising responses and solutions to challenges and problems we have not seen in our lifetime.

Feel free to include other questions, suggestions, and comments.

The objective is to compile and disseminate as much information and advice as possible that the entire community can access and use.

You do not need to answer all the questions or comment only once.  This an ongoing effort; you can add comments as often as you want.

The product of this effort will be posted on this website and disseminated in other channels on an ongoing basis.

You do not need to be a PSC member to contribute; everyone is invited to participate.
