A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize a 1.5-day workshop on the application of emerging technologies to strengthen U.S. resilience to natural hazards. The workshop will build on the priorities and themes identified in the 2026 Science20 (S20) Statement on Strengthening Resilience to Natural Disasters through Emerging Technologies and International Collaboration. The workshop will convene experts and practitioners from academia, federal, state, and local governments, industry, philanthropy, community organizations, and other relevant sectors to:

· Examine scientific and technological advances that can enhance preparedness, response, recovery, and long-term resilience to disasters;

· Explore opportunities and challenges associated with the application of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, geospatial analytics, and advanced data systems, to disaster resilience;

· Consider opportunities for national and international collaboration among researchers, practitioners, government agencies, philanthropy, and other stakeholders to strengthen U.S. resilience research and innovation; and

· Discuss approaches to workforce development and engagement of early-career scientists and engineers in the field of emerging technologies for disaster resilience.

The workshop will take place on the margins of the 2026 G20 Summit, to be held in Miami, Florida, in December 2026. Following the workshop, the National Academies will publish a proceedings in brief that summarizes the presentations and discussions.
