Disaster Management Roundtable

At CARILEC, we’re focused on strengthening the collective resilience of utilities and IPP’s, by fostering collaboration between public and private stakeholders, encouraging innovation and resource sharing, and creating platforms for networking and capacity development. This collaboration is also pivotal on a regional and multi-sectoral level, with each entity contributing towards overall resiliency and sustainability, while managing the aftermath of a multi-hazard.

This year’s roundtable takes place on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, under the theme Resilience Through Collaboration: Empowering Utilities for Disaster Readiness.” The Roundtable will focus on the challenges faced in disaster and emergency response with a review of the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season, and the impacts of cyclones like Hurricane Beryl which impacted several islands in the Caribbean Region. The session will run from 9 am – 3 pm EST.

The annual Disaster Management Roundtable will provide insight on how electric Utilities and Independent Power Producers (IPP) can collaborate with local and regional agencies to provide more efficient emergency response services after a natural disaster.

This session will be held virtually and is FREE to attend.
