The PNW Resilience Challenge is a proposed 3-year initiative aimed at accelerating the ability of our urban areas in the Puget Sound Region to respond to disruptive events. A primary focus of the initiative is fostering cross-sector information exchange and collaborative action toward high priority goals.

Business leaders, government experts, insurers, urban planners, re-searchers and others will address policy issues, climate change forecasts and other threats of concern. This cross-sector event will provide a forum for discussing key questions about our regional risks due to changing weather patterns, resource constraints and increased population density.  This is an opportunity to mobilize in support of a shared agenda and shared priorities.

Attendees will explore our interdependencies across functional areas and sectors, gaining knowledge, resources and the contacts needed to help them think about resiliency in their business and communities.
