0930-1030 - 	Mitigation Planning and Forward Thinking – Phillip Cane

This presentation will provide a nexus hub relating all types of hazards, both natural and non-natural and how they can coincide. This is a thought experiment. What do natural hazards and emerging threats have in common? Is there a connection? To help illustrated this nexus, a portion described the emerging threat/hazard originating from electric vehicles. What’s their nexus to response and recovery, to terrorism, to industrial accidents, and natural hazards?
