The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (National Academies) is convening a series of virtual public workshops to explore promising practices, ongoing challenges and potential opportunities, since Hurricane Katrina, in the coordinated delivery of human and social services service programs following federally declared major natural disasters.
