2018 KAMM Conference
Lake Barkley State Resort Park, Cadiz
Mitigation Superheroes: Investing in Our Communities
September 17, Preconference workshops and activities
September 18 – 20, 2018
Thank you for attending the conference!
We had a great conference with speakers on various mitigation topics. Given that Hurricane Florence scooped up all of FEMA speakers, we mitigated and rearranged the schedule at the last minute. We appreciate all of the folks who volunteered and helped fill the gaps.
