Featuring Liz Caselli-Mechael, Chief Communications Officer, Watch Duty and Chris Dorsett, VP of Conservation, Ocean Conservancy
Moderated by Brendan Vaughan, Editor in chief, Fast Company

Natural disasters are reshaping lives, ecosystems, and economies across the globe. This urgent conversation explores how frontline organizations are rethinking preparedness to mitigate the impacts of disasters, from land to sea. Ocean Conservancy is helping lead a global push to protect the ocean’s “twilight zone,” a critical yet understudied layer of the water column that plays a vital role in regulation. And Watch Duty is harnessing early-warning technologies and community engagement to help people stay ahead of increasingly severe wildfire threats. Join this discussion to learn how companies are stepping up to support communities in times of crisis.
