TRI participates in the Commonwealth of Virginia’s, Department of Emergency Management’s First Vendor Fair.

In late March, TRI participated in the Commonwealth of Virginia’s, Department of Emergency Management’s (VDEM) first Vendor Fair. Dawn Wheeler, TRI’s Office Manager, and Clinton Preston, TRI’s Director of Security, presented on the TRI team, our skills, and TRI’s unique, highly usable solutions and products.

Events like this underscore the importance of collaboration and innovation to develop solutions for emergency management and ensure we can continue to enhance our community preparedness efforts. TRI was excited about the connections that Dawn and Clinton made and the opportunities to contribute to a safer, more resilient Virginia.

To our team, partners, and everyone involved: your support fuels our commitment to making a difference.

Andrea E. Davis

As the Founder, President and CEO of The Resiliency Initiative, a certified Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), I empower small businesses and communities to become self-reliant through crisis and risk mitigation planning. I have over 20 years of experience in emergency management, business continuity, and public health, working for public, private, and non-profit sectors across various industries and geographies.

My core competencies include strategic policy development, program management, stakeholder engagement, and media relations. I have led global, enterprise-wide crisis management departments for multi-national, Fortune 500 companies, such as The Walt Disney Company and Walmart, overseeing large-scale responses to natural disasters, pandemics, cyberattacks, and social unrest. I have also served as the External Affairs Director for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Louisiana Recovery Office for Hurricane Katrina, managing a recovery portfolio of over $25 billion.

My passion is volunteer service, which led to my selection as the Inaugural Emergency Manager of the Year in 2018 by the International Association of Emergency Managers and my induction into the Women’s Emergency Management Hall of Fame in 2013. Currently, I am Board Chair for the California Resiliency Alliance and the Northwest Arkansas American Red Cross. Additionally, I am an advisory board member for the Institute for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Management (I-DIEM) and the Dr. Lucy Jones Foundation.
