Time: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Location: Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort, Room TBD
This interactive session will explore where we’ve been, where we are now, and where we need to go when it comes to disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. The goal: to break down communication barriers and build a more unified, responsive, and proactive approach to disaster work in conservation.
Soil & Water Conservation Districts and partner agencies will kick things off with brief reflections on lessons learned from recent events—but the heart of this session is collaborative problem-solving. We’ll identify what worked, what didn’t, and what support is still needed to respond effectively to future disasters.
Bring your experience, your questions, and your ideas. Together, we’ll strengthen our readiness and resilience.
