It is an extraordinary time for action on resilience in Florida.  Storms continue to occur that spur a need for effective action.  State funding is raising awareness in every community on the risks posed today and in the future from tropical events, sea level rise and other evolving conditions, and state and federal government agencies and private sector companies are focusing more attention and investing significant funds to reduce risks and ensure the viability of Florida communities.  Also, commitments to continue to protect and enhance the natural environment, so important in the State, from threats today and into the future, are advancing rapidly. 
 
As the pace of investment continues to increase, and conditions worsen, the tools and processes required to support effective investing are being further developed and refined.  The participants on this panel represent both government and private sector interests and will share experiences and best practices on how to be effective in identifying risks, communicating the need for investment, advocating for action, achieving success in state/federal funding processes, and moving forward with a capital program that ensures long-term community viability.  
 
Join our panel to discuss strategies and actions being implemented in Florida and nationally that represent effective pre and post/disaster mitigation and resiliency adaptation at the local, state, and federal levels of government, and within the private sector.
