While emergency services have improved the way they deal with extreme events and reduced loss of life, challenges remain in how we reduce risks and prepare on one hand, and recover from events on the other. Is our vision and agenda for risk and recovery limited by the institutions who manage these events? This roundtable will highlight different approaches and the extent to which our institutional silos constrain options and opportunities for risk reduction and recovery. It will do this through an exploration of recent wildfire events in the U.S. and Australia.
