Extreme weather and natural disasters continue to blindside society, despite extraordinary advances in technology. In his keynote address, Dr. “Hurricane Hal” Needham will share his “Recipe for Risk Analysis” to help a broad audience of catastrophe mitigation professionals better prepare for a wide range of outcomes. The Recipe includes three major ingredients- knowing our “Deep History”, understanding risk around regional neighborhoods, and considering environmental change.
