Earthquakes, Volcanos, Landslides, and Post-Wildfire Debris Flows - Oh My!

The Department of the Interior - Office of Emergency Management (DOI-OEM) invites you to a lively panel discussion featuring scientific experts from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). These national and international experts in the fields of Landslides, Earthquakes, Volcanos, and Post-Wildfire Debris Flow are here to share the latest Science for a Risky World. This dynamic panel will empower Emergency Managers from around the globe with cutting-edge scientific information, enhancing their understanding of risks and the availability of scientists ready to support incident response and recovery-not just in the U.S., but worldwide. Attendees will leave equipped with innovative tools and knowledge to tackle natural hazards head-on. Natural hazards-including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, landslides, hurricanes, droughts, floods, wildfires, geomagnetic storms, and pandemics-can devastate communities and disrupt economies for years. These events can claim lives and inflict billions in damages, leading to profound social, environmental, and health impacts. As population growth, urbanization, and the frequency and complexity of major disasters increase, DOI and USGS are here to empower Emergency Managers in tackling these pressing challenges. Together, we can turn scientific data into actionable strategies for risk reduction!
