Sheltering Migrants: How to Open a Shelter, Conduct Operations, and Avoid Mistakes

The New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) is proud to present a special webinar in collaboration with IEM, a global leader in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Join us to hear from three of IEM’s migrant sheltering and operations experts about their migrant shelter operations and asylum seeker services. The presentations will cover how to select congregate and non-congregate shelter sites, lessons learned and best practices for migrant shelter operations, and considerations for contracting support. Through their expertise, we aim to equip county officials with the knowledge and tools necessary to establish and manage migrant shelters effectively.
