Panel Discussion: Storm Preparedness and Resiliency Throughout Florida

Description

The United States is seeing an increase in both storm intensity and frequency, and Florida is no stranger to this. Last year, hurricanes Debby, Helene and Milton, one of the strongest hurricanes on record in the Atlantic basin, swept through the state and brought storm surge, inland flooding, strong winds and other weather-related impacts with them. In this panel session, stormwater professionals from around the state will share how their municipalities manage stormwater, prepare for natural disasters and build resilience. Panelists will share their experience communicating and educating the public to mitigate misinformation in the face of major storms while also discussing leveraging technology during emergencies to expedite recovery and stormwater operational impacts. From this panel, attendees will gain key insights into resiliency and preparedness and will leave the panel with tools to take home to their communities.
