SCDRP 8th Annual Meeting

Scholarships are available to cover the cost of registration, email us at scdrp@secoora.org for more information!
The over-arching theme of the SCDRP 8th Annual Meeting is:
"Moving the Needle on Equitable Preparation for and Adaptation to Natural Hazards"
Throughout the 2 days of sessions, we will talk about how can we partner across sectors and work across political and geographic boundaries within our region. We will hear speakers and panelists highlight case studies and successful climate resilience initiatives, innovative public-private partnerships, strategies to address inequities, and the application of cutting-edge data tools and technologies. We will use this time together to make strides towards our vision that communities across the U.S. Southeast and Caribbean will be significantly more resilient to episodic and chronic impacts due to climate change, natural hazards, and disasters. Let's move the needle!
