Event Description
Join GOVERNING for a compelling panel discussion on the intricacies of disaster management. Hear from Amanda Ripley, author of GOVERNING's riveting March article "Run for Your Lives, Please." (JOHN HAS THIS LINK) Plus, take away lessons learned from emergency management experts that have first-hand insights on critical topics including:
- How do age, health, income and other factors influence how certain citizens respond to emergency authorities?
- What strategies can officials use for overcoming public resistance to evacuation orders, especially in areas that are frequently in "the eye of the storm?"
- How do communication strategies need to evolve given changes in local media across the country?
