August 23, 2023 - Special discussion session on resiliency and bridging the divide between science and policy.
Featuring Ms. Toni-Shae Freckleton, Chief of the New York Liaison Office of the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR): "Bridging the Science-Policy Divide: From Resilience Thinking to Resilient Practices."
August 24,2023 - Special panel discussion session on the theme of Disaster Data Sharing with:
Ellen Rathje (University of Texas at Austin), Adam Smith (NOAA), Matthew Hoehler (NIST), Gerard Lemson (Johns Hopkins University/NIST), Garrett Layne (NASA), and Judith Mitrani-Reiser (NIST).
