TED-Style Talks: Engagement, Ethics, and Collaboration in Local Disaster Management

Tuesday, July 15, 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. MDT
Location: Ponderosa

When major disasters strike, they draw national and international attention. But their impacts are felt most acutely at the local level. People on the ground have immense capacity as first responders and hold a trove of local knowledge that can inform tailored strategies across the disaster cycle. These talks will explore how localized approaches to science and policy can help communities build disaster resilience.
