Disaster Leadership Conference – REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!
When disaster strikes, effective coordination is essential for community resilience. Knowing how local, state, and federal agencies collaborate can lead to a faster and more efficient response and recovery. As environmental conditions continue to shift and new challenges arise, states are increasingly positioned to lead disaster response efforts, that's why we're bringing leaders together for this important event.
By the end of this conference, you'll be able to:
• Identify resources needed to properly assess, plan, and prepare for disaster events.
• Identify risk management strategies to improve resilience and reduce the impact of disaster events.
• Understand disaster risk communication best practices before, during and in the aftermath of events to reduce property damage and save lives.
• Identify resources and tools for damage assessment and how federal, state, and local partners can work collaboratively for a swift and effective recovery.
• Understand existing resources and programs that make more resilient properties and communities and how to implement them.
• Connect the dots between local officials, emergency managers, and the insurance industry before and after disaster events.
Take advantage of being able to:
• Hear directly from officials who have led through disasters—the lessons they learned, the obstacles they faced, and what they wish they had known in advance.
• Speak directly with panel experts.
• Gain preparedness insights from top professionals in the field.
• Build a network of support by connecting with other local leaders, insurance professionals, and state and federal organizations.
