Extreme weather events are becoming increasingly common. Sadly, the occurrence of each event brings the threat of loss of life and property. Current technology, research, and communications have the potential to significantly mitigate these losses by bringing information to the people who need it most. The “Resilience, Communication, and Decision Support for Extreme Events” session will focus on tools, technology, data, and research available domestically and internationally to enable awareness, preparation, and response; to build resilience; to improve communication; and to provide decision support in extreme events to national and municipal managers, emergency responders, local businesses, and the public at large.
