Law in Crisis: Building Capacity, Compliance, and Community in Emergency Management
In an era of increasingly complex emergencies—ranging from climate-driven disasters to public health crises and cyber threats—legal preparedness is essential to effective emergency management. The Disaster Law Symposium, hosted by NYCEM, is a timely initiative convening legal and policy professionals to examine legal frameworks, ethical questions, and interagency coordination challenges that arise during crises.
The Disaster Law Symposium will highlight an inspiring group of keynote speakers, facilitators, and panelists whose dedication to public service and legal excellence sets a powerful example. Their voices will not only guide important conversations but also ignite a vision for stronger, more resilient communities prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
