If we truly aspire to leave no one behind in disasters, it’s critical that we incorporate the lessons of past events into existing emergency response. This requires a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of gaps in risk communication, evacuation planning, response systems, organizational networks, and cultural competence. Speakers in this session will use stories from three disasters—the Lahaina and Caldor Wildfires and Hurricane Harvey—to discuss planning for at-risk communities and what it takes to build sustainable emergency response collaborations that serve all members of a community.
