Ethical Implications of Emergency Response Conference Report

This report is the result of a six month effort of a working group comprised of staff from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics and numerous ethics officials. The working group was initiated in response to hurricanes Katrina and Rita at ethics officials request that the community come together to develop common solutions to shared problems and experiences. The effort culminated in a conference that was held March 21 and 22, 2006. In addition to the conference report, many speakers prepared Powerpoint presentations which are listed on the report.
