WS104. Large Disasters, Partnerships, and Innovative Mass Care Solutions

Learn how non-profit organizations and other non-traditional partners can help you overcome the growing challenges that result from large disasters and meet the needs of your communities.

Population growth and extreme weather events increases the cost and the complexities associated with disaster response operations. Isolated communities and those that are hard to reach because of floods and other hazards present special challenges. Non-profit organizations, subject matter experts, and other resources in the community that can offer innovative solutions are often underutilized or overlooked. Learn how non-profit organizations and other non-traditional partners can help you overcome challenges and meet the needs of your communities.

The panelists will discuss lessons learned from their 2023 responses in Florida, Kentucky and Alaska as well as discuss how those lessons can be put to use in future disaster.
