Presentations and guests include: Engaging Communities in Wildfire Preparedness: Guy Gifford, Assistant Division Manager for the Washington State Department of Natural Resources’ Community Resilience Program. Risk Scoring Tools with Verisk: Roger Grenier (Senior Vice President, Global Resilience Practice) and JulieAnna Anastassatos (Senior Director, Wildfire) from Verisk Analytics, a leading risk assessment firm. Long-Term Recovery for Communities After Wildfire Loss: Carlene Anders, Executive Director of the Okanogan County Long-Term Recovery Group, the mayor of Pateros and a former firefighter with the U.S. Forest Service and DNR. An Introduction to Reinsurance: Dennis Burke, Vice President of the Reinsurance Association of America. You can check out all four videos on our website and our YouTube page.
