Is the Bay Area ready for sea level rise, prolonged drought and more severe natural disasters? What can be done to better shore up our infrastructure? Join us for a panel discussion between some of the leading minds in disaster resiliency today in a dialog about the lessons learned from the Rebuild by Design competition — which focused on building resilience in New York and New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy in 2012 — and how they can be applied to the West Coast.
