The Bay Area Council would like to invite you to the Bay Area Regional Disaster Resilience Initiative Kickoff Workshop on November 1st. The Bay Area Council is a co-organizer of the event, which will touch on a wide variety of important issues that would face our region in the event of a major disaster, including the transition from disaster response to recovery, temporary housing, and keeping our region's economy afloat in the wake of a disaster.

About the Workshop

The Workshop is the first event of a broad coalition of Bay Area public, private sector, and non-profit organizations and associations to develop an action plan of activities focusing on recovery from a major earthquake or disaster to help build a resilient Bay Area. The Workshop will engage Bay Area stakeholder organizations to discuss and provide input on several high-priority issues and what needs to be done to enhance Bay Area disaster recovery capabilities:

• Transitioning from response to recovery

• Lessons learned from recent disasters

• Long-term housing for displaced individuals and rebuilding housing

• Assuring the Bay Area remains in business

• Financing actions to speed recovery and improve resilience

Registration and Participation

The Bay Area Regional Disaster Resilience Initiative Kickoff Workshop is free of charge and is being held on Tuesday, November 1, 2011 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm at the NASA Research Park, Moffett Field.
