In an era of increasingly destructive weather events, there is a clear need to address the risks that are creating major to catastrophic disaster impacts communities are experiencing. In 2024, Hurricanes Helene and Milton were the latest disaster events to cause major impacts and losses to many communities.
There has been significant progress and investment by all levels of government and private entities in addressing disaster risk reduction through hazard mitigation over the past 20 years. However, recent events, including the more recent catastrophic wildfires in southern California, provide an opportunity to evaluate lessons learned through previous risk reduction efforts and discuss strategies and measures we should be considering for future hazard mitigation planning.
Our panel will discuss this national challenge and engage participants in exploring potential improvements and solutions.
