This panel will provide a general overview of the current initiatives regarding Florida’s coastal resiliency and preparedness to natural disasters, specifically related to managing waste and water before, during, and after a hurricane/flooding. This session will feature speakers who work to protect Florida’s vulnerable coastlines from the impacts of hurricanes and tropical storms that occur every year. The panel will be geared towards young professionals and will give insight into air, water, and waste topics and challenges associated with protecting Florida’s coastlines. The panel will conclude with open discussion and Q&A, providing students and young professionals with the opportunity to interact with the panel members. This is a great introductory panel presentation for all attendees but is focused on reaching the student/young professional attendee. Attendees should gain a general understanding of water and waste management challenges associated with natural disasters.
