Maximum resilience is produced only through integrated efforts within and across all agencies and organizations to manage adversity, change, loss, and risk. Reimagining our approach to emergencies and disasters together - before they occur - is the collaboration necessary to maximize the expertise, insights, and real-life experiences of all partners. Collectively, these partners will empower Alabamians and our communities to build stronger, live safer, and recover quicker from adverse circumstances.
Alabama Emergency Management Agency Director Jeff Smitherman and Alabama Department of Insurance Commissioner Mark Fowler will serve as co-chairs of the Council.
Sixteen other local, state, federal, and private partners will be invited to appoint a representative to the Council.
