Introducing the Resilient City Expo
This year also marks the launch of Resilient City Expo, a newly co-located event premiering alongside Disasters Expo USA. As cities face increasing climate, infrastructure, and population pressures, Resilient City Expo focuses on long-term resilience through planning, policy, and design.
Running concurrently with Disasters Expo USA, Resilient City Expo brings together professionals from urban development, coastal architecture, infrastructure planning, and the built environment to examine how cities can reduce risk and strengthen communities for the future.
Across both expos, attendees can expect 12 keynote sessions per day, running in half-hour blocks from 10:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., along with four focused roundtable discussions over the two days covering:
- Power and Water
- NGO Collaboration
- Disaster Communications
- Private-Sector Community Resilience
