The Fourth Annual Disaster Resistant California (DRC) Conference will be held May 3-5, 2004, at the historic Sheraton Grand Hotel in Sacramento, California. This unique conference series will continue its tradition of offering an exciting and highly dynamic exploration of disaster mitigation, planning, preparedness, response and recovery through plenary panels, workshops and professional development courses.

The DRC is designed to bring together emergency management professionals, local and state government representatives and private business partners to share ideas, technology and resources for the purpose of mitigating disasters. As in past conferences, DRC will strive to promote public/private partnership in an effort to reduce the vulnerability of individual communities to natural and human-caused disasters. In addition, the DRC will continue to highlight California hazard mitigation success stories and recognize those California communities who have made significant strides toward making their individual jurisdictions Disaster Resistant California Communities.
