EMForum.org was pleased to host a one hour presentation and interactive discussion Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Our topic took its title from an article recently published in Emergency Management Magazine urging emergency management, economic development and sustainability communities to reach out to each other to form a common understanding and action agenda to get elected officials to see that resiliency and sustainability are not separate issues.

Our guest was the author of the article, Robert C. Wible, Principal, Robert Wible and Associates and FIATECH Streamlining Project Manager. Mr. Wible has assisted individual state and local governments with identifying areas in need of regulatory streamlining and disaster resiliency, building stakeholder/ jurisdiction streamlining teams, and identifying and applying information technology to appropriate aspects of their building codes and standards regulatory processes. In December, 2010, Engineering News Record named Robert Wible as one of ENR's "Top 25 News Makers of 2010."
