Disaster Resilience Planning

Regional resilience is critical to recovering from a disaster. Major part of recovery is the relationship between the private and public sectors. The CRDR works with all partners to showcase best practices on the ability to recover quickly for a disaster. Planning for the worst and learning from past events is a crucial component of the CRDR's mission. To deliver on this mission, the CRDR holds an annual Disaster Symposium in conjunction with the PNWER Annual Summit as well as supports recovery planning efforts in the region.

The CRDR began convening a Disaster Resilience Symposium during the PNWER's Annual Summit in Portland in 2017. These Symposiums bring together leaders and decisionmakers from throughout the region to address common issues, examine solutions, and promote information-sharing.
