Learn to build community-centered resources for before, during and after disasters with this highly-practical workshop. Sharing strategies and practical tips for building resilient newsrooms and meeting essential information needs, this session will detail how small and local newsrooms can reach underserved audiences and build trust with bilingual toolkits, virtual “go bags,” climate-crisis-informed coverage, ham radio training and other cost-effective news strategies.

Navigation tip: The Embassy Rooms are in the International Tower and can be accessed through the Hyatt Lobby Level International Tower or from LL3.

  • From the Lobby Level: When you are facing the hotel registration desks, walk towards the right, past the gift/convenience store until you see the elevators on your right. The escalators will be past the elevators. You will go down two levels.

  • From LL3: Walk to the right side of this level (if facing away from the elevators/escalators and towards the central foyer area). You will go around the corner past the Canva Studio in Piedmont all the way down until you see the escalators and elevators. Go up one level.

  • You cannot access the International Tower if you are on LL1 or LL2.
