Table Top Discussions are an informal time of roundtable discussions and networking opportunities. These discussions help people "break the ice" , connect with each other, and share ideas, information, experiences, or perspectives. Each Table will have a different discussion topic to focus on and a limited number of participants. Attempts will be made to have at least one person at each table who has experience in that topic area. Some Tables will be presented with problems and/or scenarios to address. One person at each Table will be asked to take notes and provide these to the Conference Chair at the conclusion to be printed and sent to conference participants following the conference. Plan to be part of these lively and informative discussions.Topic Areas for Tables will include:
• Discussions about addressing pre-disaster training and exercises;
• Mitigation efforts;
• Hurricane preparation, response and follow-up;
