Aspen Digital connects emergency management leaders from across government, industry, and civil society to tackle our nation’s toughest challenges. With natural disasters growing more severe, cyber attacks and national security incidents on the rise, building more effective emergency management systems is essential. This initiative works to gather leading minds to identify solutions for how to leverage technology to safeguard our communities.
