APTNE 2021 Annual Meeting & SymposiumFriday, February 26th, 2021 Disasters come in various forms, whether they be a natural disaster, a man-made disaster, or a disastrous situation. In preservation, we deal with each of these disasters, whether it be from planning to prevent them, investigating the aftermath, or in overcoming them and coming out better than before. Each situation is defined in how we approach the disaster and each of us are judged in how we react. In a time that is currently fraught with various global disasters, each of us is challenged to move above and beyond, bringing our history and our buildings with us. Industry professionals, artisans, students, and professors will present topics ranging from planning for seismic disasters to protecting our cultural heritage from fire and from adapting for flooding to graffiti. In addition to the 9 virtual presentations and the virtual round table (worth a total of 6.25 HSW credits), this event will also include several additional activities available to all attendees including:

Round Table: Power to the People Abstract: This interactive forum will use Haiti, Puerto Rico and Dominica as Case Studies of Resilience. In the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti Earthquake and Hurricane Maria in 2017, Architects working in resiliency and recovery efforts in the Caribbean Region identify this as an opportunity to build in higher levels of resilience and sustainability. Along with cultural sensitivity, these natural occurrences are transformed into catalysts for new planning and design principles that can be translated worldwide. Panelists will discuss the opportunities and challenges of working with impacted communities, while dealing with unfamiliar policies or unenforced construction laws & regulations. Sustainable Communities are the ones that are empowered in the recovery efforts. Architects and Design leaders facilitate community participatory design in recovery efforts by harnessing the local brain trust to create a collaborative and culturally relevant solution.
