This summer has seen flooding, wildfires, severe storms, and mass shootings across the country, reminding us how important it is to be able to respond to unforeseen, traumatic events.

NNLM is here to help.

Join us online for a free disaster preparedness forum, September 12-28. We are partnering with a slate of experts to bring awareness, learning, and discussion regarding preparedness. The six sessions will cover tools, resources, and communication planning, while focusing on greater inclusiveness and community resilience.

Each session will be held from 2-3pm ET on Zoom. You need to register for each session individually – feel free to only attend one, or attend all six. You can earn MLA CE and/or CHES CE for each session you attend.
