As communities experience an unprecedented number of extreme disasters, we have an ethical obligation to prepare current and future generations of researchers and practitioners for the work that lies ahead. As this closing plenary will showcase, these challenging times provide opportunities to lead by example and offer hands-on experience to students and members of the natural hazards workforce. Join this session to learn more about ethical codes and mentoring programs designed to prepare hazards professionals while also providing technical assistance in socially marginalized and at-risk communities across states, tribal regions, and the U.S. territories.
