As the climate and environment change, organizations need to be prepared for increased disaster risks. Disasters often have residual effects that cannot be planned for, so response and planning must be flexible. This session will discuss the importance of planning for, responding to, and long-term recovery for disaster scenarios. Three mid-career professionals from Alaska, Kansas, and Georgia will discuss the specific disasters their organizations have faced and explore what planning worked or not.

Leimkuehler: Communication Breakdown: Before, During, and After Disaster
Higgins: Shake It Off: Lessons in Recovery and Planning from the 2018 Alaska Earthquake
