Why it matters: Disasters are becoming more frequent and severe, yet our communities and systems remain unprepared. Resources are stretched thin, and the risks communities face often exceed their capacity to respond effectively and build resilience for the next disaster.
This year's conference, themed "Strengthening America for the Next Generation," highlights both the urgency and the opportunity of this moment. Together, we'll focus on the decisions and investments we must make now so that every community is stronger in the years ahead.
