Florida nonprofit plans conference to help stakeholders build a culture of preparedness

The FAIR Foundation plans a virtual conference to help stakeholders develop action plans and themes for real cultural change in its “Building a Culture of Preparedness” series from Sept. 9 to Oct. 15.

The conference follows the nonprofit organization’s mission to educate consumers, reduce uninsured risk and promote flood and wind mitigation as a way to make communities more resilient, the FAIR Foundation said on its website.

Stakeholders will be shown how they can collaborate to improve disaster preparedness and show that mitigation improves resiliency at home. Other issues the FAIR Foundation plans to cover during the virtual conference include closing the insurance gap and attaining meaningful cultural change and progress by creating and following strategies.

The virtual conference will draw from realtors, engineers, mitigation professionals, insurers and agents, construction and technology companies and local governments for its speakers and attendees, the FAIR Foundation said.

The FAIR Foundation plans 16 conference topics during the virtual conference, including Identifying and Serving At-Risk Populations and a new topic, Evacuating and Sheltering During a Pandemic. A few of the other topics include Realtors–The New Flood Insurance Experts? How do we increase flood insurance coverage?, and; The Human Nature Challenge: How People Deal with Catastrophes.
