Fireside chats are offered in addition to monthly Disaster Response Collaborative (DRC) sessions in an effort to provide participants with an optional extra learning experience. These sessions are more informal and allow experts and attendees a chance to discuss topics not specifically covered in the four focus areas, but that are equally important to consider when preparing for a disaster. Below is a list of upcoming and completed fireside chats. Explore completed and upcoming DRC Collaborative Sessions here.
