Listen now
Description
In the face of evolving threats and a changing threat landscape, it is crucial to reevaluate and adapt disaster policy to ensure the resilience of our nation.

However, the private sector often faces barriers when seeking federal assistance for disaster-related efforts. Let’s explore the need for change in disaster policy to bridge the gap between the public and private sectors and unlock the potential of private entities in building a resilient nation.
