Meeting Materials

The Symposium took place on July 24-25, 2017 and was embedded within the Pacific NorthWest Economic Region’s Annual Summit in Portland, Oregon, from July 23-27. Embedding the Disaster Resilience Symposium within the larger PNWER Summit provided attendees with the opportunity to interact face-to-face with elected officials and legislators and increase awareness for important disaster resilience issues.

The Symposium included the following plenary sessions:

  • Calgary Flood and Alberta Fires Response and Recovery
  • Climate Change and Adaptation
  • Critical Infrastructure Interdependencies - Cross State/Province/National Borders
  • Cybersecurity
  • Defining Disaster Resilience
  • Oil Train Safety and Emergency Response Planning

The Symposium was organized with the help of both public and private partners from various local, state, and national agencies and organizations.
