This series of lightning talks explores how communities experience, shape, and are impacted by emergencies. Across two parallel themes, the talks examine both the people‑powered foundations of resilience and the societal, often overlooked, consequences that unfold beyond the immediate hazard zone.
Theme C: Community‑Powered Resilience Theme D: Beyond the Yellow Tape — The Societal Impacts of Disasters
The lightning talks will be followed by roundtable discussions, where participants and speakers will gather in small groups to explore the provocative questions raised in the lightning talks. These conversations offer space for exploration, dialogue, and deeper insight into the community dynamics, human impacts, and lived experiences that shape resilience and disaster recovery.
