FEMA Official Joselito Ignacio Confirmed as Featured Speaker for the Miami Emergency Preparedness & Security Summit 2026

Nuclear Emergency Preparedness: “The Challenges and Assistance Required Following a Nuclear Attack”

Miami, Florida – Aug 6, 2026, Evertise AI PR, The U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the confirmation of Joselito Ignacio, Acting Director & Public Health Advisor of the Office of Emerging Threats (OET), Response Directorate, Office of Response and Recovery, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as a featured participant in the Miami Emergency Preparedness & Security Summit 2026.

The one-day Summit will take place on Thursday, August 13, 2026, at the prestigious Sheraton Miami Airport Hotel in Miami, Florida.

Mr. Ignacio will participate at 10:00 a.m. in the forum:

NUCLEAR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

“The Challenges and Assistance Required Following a Nuclear Attack”

The forum will be presented as an executive conversation with Doug Mayorga, President and CEO of the U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce, addressing one of the most sensitive and consequential issues included in this year’s Summit.

For approximately one hour, the conversation will focus on emergency preparedness, public health considerations, response coordination, assistance, and the challenges communities and institutions may face following a major nuclear or radiological emergency.

The discussion will focus on responsible preparedness and public safety, not fear or speculation.

“Having Mr. Joselito Ignacio, Acting Director and Public Health Advisor of FEMA’s Office of Emerging Threats, participate in this Summit represents a significant milestone for our mission,” said Doug Mayorga, President and CEO of the U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce.

“Discussing the possibility of a nuclear emergency is not a subject that most people encounter in their daily lives. Yet the subject increasingly appears in public discussions around the world. Our purpose is not to create fear. Our purpose is to promote knowledge, preparedness, responsible leadership, and a better understanding of how institutions and communities can prepare for an extraordinary emergency.”

The U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce considers the participation of FEMA leadership especially important because emergency preparedness requires cooperation among government agencies, public health institutions, emergency management organizations, public safety agencies, businesses, and communities.
