Join the Movement: Deepen Community Connections And Prepare for Disasters With Listos California

Since 2023, Listos California has hosted a series of workshops across the state, serving as dedicated spaces for local leaders to connect, learn, and collaborate on emergency preparedness. We’re excited to bring the Regional Disaster Ready Summits back this year—expanding to 10 new cities!
Unlike traditional disaster preparedness trainings, our approach goes beyond checklists and protocols—we focus on building the most essential ingredient for effective response and recovery: trust.
This year’s events will prepare participants to serve as trusted messengers who can help our communities be better prepared for disasters and strengthen resilience in California’s high-risk areas through a blend of plenary sessions with interactive small group activities, designed to foster deeper regional connections. Participants will leave with practical tools, actionable insights, and shared strategies to support their ongoing efforts in strengthening resilience across California’s most vulnerable communities.
Objectives:
- Help local community trusted messengers make new connections and deepen existing connections regionally
- Learn more about local resources
- Assess regional emergency preparedness needs, identify resources and create actionable takeaways
What you will do:
- Expand your Network and Strengthen Relationships
- Participants will have numerous opportunities to connect, collaborate, and establish relationships crucial for disaster preparedness
- Learn Problem-Solving Tools
- Through interactive activities and scenarios, participants will learn and apply human -centered problem-solving tools to address gaps in disaster preparedness within their communities
- Receive Disaster Preparedness Information and Resources
- Participants will leave with valuable information and resources to help their communities become ready together before, during and after disasters.
Who should attend:
- Emergency management officials
- Local government public information officers
- Community based organization leaders
