Really glad I didn't need this respirator in Colorado. I can't be the only one at #HazWS2025 who travels with one, right?
Still going to mask on flights, forever, even if I'm the only one (which I may have been, CO to TX yesterday).
The final afternoon sessions wrapped up the 2025 Researchers Meeting with energy and insight. Thanks to everyone who made it a meaningful close. #isarc39 #hazws2025
With hope for the future and gratitude for the insights shared, we now officially declare the 2025 Researchers Meeting closed.
Thank you all for your contributions and presence. See you next year!

My vision of the next 50 years of the hazards and disaster field, inspired by the incredible #HazWS2025 panel on imagining future possibilities:
Research and practice that has shed its technocratic and quasi-militaristic approaches and is inclusive, community-based, systems-focused, and humane.

Another @hrrctamu.bsky.social alum and Bill Anderson Fund Fellow Dr Marccus Hendricks absolutely lighting it up at this #HazWS2025 plenary
"You may not do politics, but politics will do you"
PhD candidate Carlo Chunga Pizzaro stands in front of his title slide in front of a packed room at the 2025 Natural Hazards Workshop
So inspired by @hrrctamu.bsky.social alum Carlo Chunga Pizarro, speaking truth to power and caring for his community, always #HazWS2025
"we must stop treating knowledge as something we own, and instead treat it something we share for survival"
This #HazWS2025 plenary is already 🔥 and we are only 5 minutes in
"In 50 years...I envision that the profession of Emergency Management in the USA functions from a humanitarian ethos and not just a state security framework."-Hans M. Louis-Charles, Natural Hazards Workshop 2025
If CNN or NBC called you and asked for an expert to explain controlled burns and prescribed burns and the reasons for and challenges with them, who would you recommend? #HazWS2025
Seeing a lot of blame and misinformation around the North Rim fire and wondering who'd be best to explain to the media.

Our second Workshop plenary begins in 20 minutes! We'll explore the First, Second, and upcoming Third Assessments! #hazws2025
Does anyone have a favorite explainer about why the National Forests are part of the Department of Agriculture (instead of, say, the Interior), and the implications for climate and/or wildfire/disaster issues? TIA! #HazWS2025
A powerhouse all-women speaker panel sits on the stage in front of a slide with the session title "From Spark to Smolder: Wildfires Across the Disaster Lifestyle"
Super stoked for this panel on wildfire at #HazWS2025. For mutiple reasons. 😏 Get to Interlocken B if you are here!
"📢 Happening Tomorrow at the #HazWS2025! 📢
Get ready for a powerful ⚡#BAFLightningTalk by BAF Fellow Ruby Hernandez: ""Voices on the Edge."" She'll be shedding light on the vulnerabilities faced by a fenceline community situated along the Houston Ship Channel."
First post on blue sky is a mirror selfie taken on my way to moderate a panel session on disaster recovery, resilience, and property insurance at @hazcenter.bsky.social’s Natural Hazards workshop. Excited to be a part of this great conference and engage with some outstanding panelists #hazws2025
To add to David's thread I am QTing, here is a 2nd article on data centers. Is anyone giving a talk on potential hazards and disasters implications at #HazWS2025? Please share your info if so!

As my colleague @jcarleepurdum.bsky.social does so well to keep highlighting, hazards and disaster professionals need to meaningfully incorporate incarcerated people and their specific needs. Even at the wonderful #HazWS2025, this seems mostly to be missing from people's list of groups to involve.
"We have to be careful that we don't continue to underestimate ourselves and the communities we work with."
Fernando Rivera shares an enduring lesson learned from years of hazards and disaster research during our first Workshop plenary: "Looking Back—Disasters as Turning Points." #hazws2025
Really important and complex issue. I have more thoughts and comments to share soon, hopefully, but sharing this now. And looking forward to hearing/discussing more about this here at the #HazWS2025
