Last updated on: April 9, 2021

With the COVID-19 pandemic and greater occurrences of natural disasters, the need for inclusion in emergency management is paramount. We will discuss a variety of topics, including our latest toolkit, which was created in partnership with the I-DIEM and focused on how organizations can develop more inclusive preparedness and practices in emergencies.

Our panelists will discuss:

  • Context in the field of emergency management
  • Experience in the Inclusive Emergency Management Community of Practice
  • Examples of how this checklist strengthens emergency preparedness plans
