Discussion: Exploring Disaster Risk Reduction Systems (Lightning Talks)
Tuesday May 12, 2026 1:45pm - 2:15pm MDT
PIC 120 - Split Conference Hall
During the discussions, participants and speakers gather in small groups to explore the provocative questions raised in each theme, including:

  • Is a federal standard the right approach to ensure the diverse needs of people with disabilities are being met before, during and after a disaster?
  • When it comes to the evolving field of EM and DRR: What are the strengths (roots) that we are building on? What carries us through our work today (trunk)? What is emergent that we need to build more on or let go of (leaves)?
