This event, held online on October 9 2025, focused on the role of the internet in Emergency preparedness and Emergency Response, and featured conversations with, and skill-shares from, members of Internet Society chapters across North America and our partner organizations. With recent increases in severe weather events or natural disasters such as wildfires, storms, floods, droughts, earthquakes, wars and mass-casualty events, it was an opportunity to discuss the role that the Internet plays in such events, and learn ways technology can be leveraged to improve outcomes.
