Representatives from City, State, and Federal agencies will share updates and answer questions about their work to protect the city from acute shocks and chronic stresses, including those brought about by climate change. The City will present their Phase 2 application for theNational Disaster Resilience Competition, and engage participants in a series of exercises to offer feedback.
