2026 CRHNet Symposium

Tuesday May 12, 2026 1:45pm - 2:15pm MDT

During the discussions, participants and speakers gather in small groups to explore the provocative questions raised in each theme, including:

Do you know how to safety integrate AI into your workflows?
How much risk reduction opportunity is being missed simply because the data exists but isn’t accessible or usable by decision-makers?
How can serious games move beyond engagement to influence actual decision-making in flood governance and related disaster contexts?
When you conduct a risk assessment, what questions are you trying to answer and how do you ensure that the methods you use are built to answer them?
