Flooding or other disasters on your mind? Join us for a peer networking session on how to plan well for emergency situations on Thursday, January 18, 2018 from 12:00-1:30pm.
The region is a candidate for problems related to flooding, earthquakes, and/or landslides. Natural disasters happen, but good planning can help to mitigate the impacts to people and property, and help communities to respond and recover more efficiently.
The discussion will focus on best practices and case studies on disaster management from across the region and will include presentations from planners who have helped to develop and implement a variety of disaster management plans and programs, along with a panel discussion.
Speakers: Bob Freitag, UW Institute for Hazard Mitigation Planning and Research; Stephen Slaughter, Department of Natural Resources; Jason Biermann, Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management; Kelly McGourty, Puget Sound Regional Council
Attend in person: January 18 from 12:00-1:30 at PSRC, 1011 Western Avenue, Suite 500, Seattle, 98104
