Explore the future of natural hazards in your state through this conference panel discussion featuring experts in geography, computation, risk management, and adaptation. Gain insights into local mitigation strategies for societal, economic, and security impacts, emphasizing the importance of scientific research and coordination with emergency management. Discover best practices for protecting lives and infrastructure, including systematic hazard accounting, addressing model uncertainty, holistic solutions, industrial loss prevention certification, and managing aging infrastructure risks. Learn about integrative planning approaches, such as uniting hazard mitigation with climate adaptation, and examine case studies from Lewes, Delaware and San Diego Bay that demonstrate successful cross-boundary collaborations in addressing natural hazard challenges.

Syllabus

Intro
Reason: The Nation does not have a systematic accounting of all hazard events and losses by location and specific hazard source.
What needs to be done
Model uncertainty makes the job of the policy maker a very tough one
engagement in creating holistic solutions
Certification for Industrial Loss Prevention
Aging Infrastructure Increases Risks
Proven Flood Loss Mitigation Solutions
The Local Context
Integrative Planning
Example 1: Uniting Hazard Mitigation and Climate Adaptation in Lewes, Delaware
Working Across Geopolitical Boundaries
San Diego Bay
