Virtual Event: Building resilience: How structural innovations can help communities defend against disasters – Jun 17
Posted by Brookings on June 17, 2025
The U.S. is now at the beginning of hurricane and fire season. As in years past, extreme weather and major disasters will impact communities across the country. As these disasters grow more frequent and severe, the risks to safety, shelter, and long-term wealth and well-being will increase as well. This moment presents a critical opportunity to reimagine and transform our market structures to better support lasting health, safety, and resilience. Nationwide, innovators, leaders, and communities are advancing resilient practices that protect what matters most: lives, livelihoods, homes, and neighborhoods. Brookings Metro and Economic Architecture will host this virtual event with leaders working at the intersection of housing, climate resilience, and equitable development.
Attendees will learn about new research on disaster-related risks and how market-based innovations can help communities move from merely surviving to thriving.
This event will be held on June 17, 2025, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
