#ICYMI: Blake shaping strategies and pathways at #AAAVF2024 Yesterday, Abigail Pollard joined the "Assistance to Accident Victims – Global Pathways" panel at the International Civil Aviation Organization conference.

Our focus included: - Streamlining #Assistance_Plans: Advocating for straightforward, practical Victim and Family Assistance Plans, not only for post-incident scenarios but as standard practice for day-to-day preparedness. - Establishing #Global_Standards: Highlighting the critical importance of managing personal belongings recovered from accidents and calling for a unified global standard to address the current imbalance. - Navigating #Digital_Complexities: Addressing the challenges of returning electronic devices to victims or families, given the complexities of varying data protection laws worldwide. As Blake celebrates 40 years of global service, we remain committed to championing initiatives that enhance compassion, clarity, and care in crisis response.
