Are municipalities ever fully prepared for disasters? Maybe not, but having strong plans, processes, and resources in place can make a crucial difference. 

Join the Municipal Operations Support team (MOS) as they reflect on lessons from Vermont’s 2023 and 2024 disasters to help you prepare more effectively for what lies ahead. 

In this webinar, MOS will:

• Outline proactive steps to strengthen your position and maximize potential disaster funding.
• Define key roles and responsibilities in the critical hours leading up to disasters and the early days of response.
• Highlight essential tools and resources to help you determine what to do, when to act, and how to proceed.

Whether you're responsible for municipal operations or have a role in disaster readiness and response, this webinar will provide valuable takeaways to help you confidently handle disasters when they strike. Attendees will receive:

• essential guidance for navigating disaster preparedness and response,
• practical strategies to strengthen preparedness,
• expert insights based on municipal successes and challenges,
• critical knowledge about roles, responsibilities, and key decisions that shape emergency response, and
• useful tools and resources that can be accessed when you need them.
