These resources can include Personal Care Assistance, trusted community and cultural connectors, behavioral health services, assistive technology, community safety resource officers, safe houses for domestic violence, and even childcare.

This year's conference will bring together attendees from the public, private, non-governmental, and academic sectors from across Colorado and the Nation, all gathered to continue building towards whole community inclusion in emergency management. The conference will feature panels of experts, stellar keynote addresses, and specialized pre and post-conference sessions, so make sure you register for the additional sessions if you want to participate!
