🎤 Keynote Announcement | Weather Is Changing - Are We? Climate Proofing our Cities

Join Crystal Egger and Kathryn Prociv, President and EVP at Monarch Weather & Climate Intelligence!

From billion-dollar disasters to rapidly intensifying storms, extreme weather is redefining risk for cities across the country.

In this keynote, Crystal and Kathryn will draw on years of field experience and analysis to explore key weather and climate trends from 2020 to 2026 through real-world case studies, showing how risk has shifted and what it means for the way cities plan and prepare.

Attendees will walk away with practical strategies to reduce risk and build resilience, moving from reactive to proactive through improved awareness, preparation, and response.

If your city's disaster planning hasn't caught up with how fast the weather is changing, this is the session that shows you where to start.

Roundtable Announcement: Breakdown or Breakthrough

Natural Disasters Expo USA is hosting a roundtable on one of the most overlooked parts of disaster response: money and information.

"Breakdown or Breakthrough: The Critical Role of Money & Information in Disasters" brings together real stories from the field, moments when financial systems and communication networks held up under pressure, and moments when they failed at the worst possible time.

Presented by Payments as a Lifeline (P**L), the session draws on US and international experience to look at how resources reach people, small businesses, and non-profits before, during, and after a disaster. Expect firsthand accounts from Global Empowerment Mission, the Red Cross (both US and international), FEMA, and leaders across fintech and case management, all built around P**L's mission of getting resources to the right person, at the right time, for the right purpose, with the data to prove it.

Speakers include Kirsten Trusko, Jonathan Edgar, Debbi Criswell, Mike Mondelli, and Dylan McNally.

Join the conversation to learn where the gaps are and how to plug your organization into the networks already doing this work.

🔥 Trends Shaping This Year's Approach to Wildfires 🔥

Wildfires continue to pose a growing challenge across the United States, impacting communities, critical infrastructure, public health, and emergency response operations.

Several key trends are shaping how agencies and organisations are approaching wildfire preparedness and response in 2026:

• Earlier detection through satellite monitoring, AI-powered systems, and remote sensors
• Increased investment in predictive modelling and fire weather intelligence
• Greater use of drones for situational awareness, mapping, and damage assessment
• Stronger focus on protecting critical infrastructure, including utilities, communications networks, and transportation assets
• Enhanced smoke monitoring and air quality forecasting to support public health decisions
• More collaboration between government agencies, utilities, researchers, and local communities

According to NOAA, wildfires cost the United States an estimated $424 billion annually when accounting for firefighting efforts, evacuations, healthcare impacts, property losses, agricultural damage, and recovery costs.

At the same time, advances in satellite technology are enabling responders to detect and track fires faster than ever before, providing near real-time intelligence that supports more informed decision-making during incidents.

As wildfire risk continues to evolve, the conversation is increasingly focused not only on response, but also on mitigation, resilience, and long-term risk reduction.

Welcome to Natural Disasters Expo USA, Sterling Site Access Solutions!

We're excited to have Sterling join us at Booth 816 on October 14th & 15th at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston!

As the world's largest site access manufacturer, Sterling has spent over 75 years solving one of the hardest problems in disaster response: how to get people and equipment onto ground that can't support them. Their TerraLam mats, engineered from cross-laminated timber and manufactured in the USA, create temporary roads and stable work pads on unstable or damaged terrain, exactly the conditions crews face after a flood, hurricane, or wildfire.

Unlike standard matting products built for routine construction, Sterling's site access solutions are designed for rapid deployment under pressure.

Their catalog includes TerraCross bridges that span up to 50 feet and support loads of 100 tons, along with full turnkey services covering planning, installation, maintenance, and removal. For disaster recovery teams, that means faster access to affected sites without compromising safety or ground integrity.

Stop by Booth 816 to see how Sterling keeps emergency response and recovery operations moving, even when the ground underneath them can't.

🎤 Keynote Announcement | No Family Member Left Behind: Animal-Inclusive Emergency Management

Join Susan Anderson, MPA Senior Director, Disaster Response at the ASPCA!

Hurricane Katrina exposed a critical gap in disaster planning: when pets are left out of evacuation plans, residents routinely refuse to leave without them, putting both human and animal lives at risk.

In this keynote, Susan will draw on her work leading the ASPCA's National Field & Disaster Response Team to make the case for pet-inclusive planning as a core part of emergency management, not an afterthought. She'll walk through the national resources and funding streams available to help emergency managers build this into their planning now.

Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of why animal-inclusive planning saves human lives, and the practical resources available to put it into practice. This session is essential for anyone working in emergency management, community resilience, or disaster response planning.

If your disaster plans don't yet account for pets, this is the session that shows you why they should.

📢 We're pleased to announce ReadyPod by BoxHouse as an official Show Sponsor of the Natural Disasters Expo USA 2026.

The immediate response to a disaster is only the first stage. Communities need somewhere to recover. First responders need somewhere to rest. Emergency teams need somewhere to operate from. ReadyPod builds the infrastructure that makes that possible.

ReadyPod is a U.S.-based, veteran-led company delivering rapidly deployable modular housing for disaster relief, emergency operations, remote workforces, and mission-critical deployments. Units mobilize quickly, install without a permanent foundation, and can be redeployed as needs change.

Their units support:
- Rapid housing for displaced families
- Accommodation for first responders and emergency personnel
- Emergency operations and response teams
- Scalable deployments for government, NGOs, and mission-critical programs

Shelter is one of the first problems any disaster response has to solve. ReadyPod is helping solve it faster.

We're also pleased to share that Amanda Breslin, CFA, CTP, President of ReadyPod by BoxHouse, will be taking to the stage with her seminar talk, "After the Storm: Accelerating Recovery Through Housing." A must-attend session for anyone working on the recovery side of disaster response.

We're glad to have ReadyPod by BoxHouse on board as a Show Sponsor, be sure to stop by and check out their booth located at: Booth 700.
