The  Roundtable and its programs aim to help communities and the nation build resilience to extreme events, save lives, and reduce the physical and economic costs of disasters. Pilot Communities |  |  |  |  | | Cedar Rapids, IA | Charleston, SC | Seattle, WA | Tulsa, OK | | Following catastrophic floods in 2008, Cedar Rapids/Linn County has come back stronger and is continuing its efforts to become more prepared and build resilience to future flood events and other hazards. | Charleston, a vibrant, historic city, is addressing persistent flooding events, storm surge, and hurricanes and their impacts on critical infrastructure and infrastructure systems. | Some of the issues Seattle is focusing on include climate adaptation, equity, and rapid economic growth. Among the natural hazards it faces are earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides. | Tulsa, OK is our newest pilot community! Two key areas we will focus on are economic supply chains and building capacity in disaster preparedness in diverse community organizations. |
