Join us for a discussion about the impacts of compounding disasters on housing.

Disaster planning and recovery have historically centered around a single, isolated event. However, climate change is driving more high-intensity events, with disaster after disaster striking the same regions without time to fully recover between events, exacerbating the impact of each subsequent incident. As described in a National Academies report released earlier this year, compounding disasters that introduce new, interconnected, and complex risk scenarios are expected to increase in frequency and will require comprehensive new strategies for emergency planning and response.

Christopher Flavelle (The New York Times) will moderate a conversation between Carlos Martín (Harvard University) and Tracy Kijewski-Correa (University of Notre Dame) discussing housing resilience and access in the context of compounding disasters and how to rethink our disaster framework to adapt to this new reality.
