We prefer personal over business emails for registration. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and communities. Yet they are also among the most vulnerable to floods, heatwaves, wildfires, and other climate disruptions.
In this dynamic session, Joyce Coffee and Robert Macnee, co-authors of The Resilience Advantage: A Small Business Guide to Preparing for Floods, Heatwaves, Wildfires, and Other Climate Disasters, will share a proven framework and practical steps any small enterprise can use to prepare, adapt, and thrive. Drawing on lessons from Climate Resilience Consulting’s nationally recognized practice, they’ll show how resilience is not just about survival—it’s about securing long-term strength, profitability, and purpose.
