The aim of the bi-monthly Community's Role in Emergency Preparedness is to develop a better understanding of the role community can play in the event of an emergency. In this community of practice, we will welcome speakers

 from across North America with examples to colour in the role of community in emergency preparedness as well as tools and resources to help organizations trying to catalyze community-led emergency preparedness.

By joining this unique community of practice you will be able to share your experiences and knowledge in free-flowing and creative ways with other professionals who are working on similar challenges or issues. By engaging in facilitated conversations with your peers, you will uncover new approaches to problems, build your professional skill set, access new ideas and contribute to the transfer of best practices.
