When extreme weather impacts critical infrastructure, the risks don't stop with the storm.

As hurricanes, floods, winter storms, and other severe weather events become more frequent and complex, organizations must also consider the cybersecurity challenges that can emerge before, during, and after a disaster. From communication disruptions and system outages to increased cyber threats targeting vulnerable infrastructure, resilience requires more than physical preparedness.

That's why MPACT Strategic Consulting offers Climate Change & Cybersecurity: The Extreme Weather and Cybersecurity Threat Nexus, a no-cost virtual workshop designed for local and state government agencies navigating today's evolving risk landscape.

Participants will explore:
✔ How extreme weather events can impact cybersecurity and critical operations
✔ Emerging risks facing public sector organizations
✔ Strategies for improving resilience and continuity planning
✔ Practical approaches to strengthening preparedness before disaster strikes

As hurricane season continues, now is the time to evaluate both physical and cyber vulnerabilities before they become operational challenges.

Everyone sees the NBA Finals. Few see the preparation it took to get there.

Behind every championship run are months of planning, practice, adjustments, and teamwork. The same mindset applies to disaster preparedness.

For nearly 20 years, MPACT Strategic Consulting has helped communities prepare for the unexpected through planning, recovery support, and resilience strategies. With experience spanning 30+ states and more than 18 major disaster events, we've seen firsthand how preparation can make a difference when it matters most.

Success isn't built in the moment. It's built before the challenge arrives.

The MPACT Strategic Consulting team is headed to Fort Worth for the 2026 TDEM Conference this week, and we’re looking forward to connecting with emergency management leaders, local jurisdictions, and community partners from across Texas.

Representing MPACT at this year’s conference will be Spurgeon Robinson, Kristina Cruz, Ilene Klement, and Esrone McDaniels, who will be available throughout the week to discuss preparedness, recovery, operational coordination, and community resilience strategies.

As communities continue preparing for hurricane season and future recovery efforts, our team is ready to discuss solutions that help organizations strengthen preparedness, support recovery initiatives, and work collaboratively with local counties and cities in the months ahead.

📍 Visit us at Booth #1206 to learn more about how MPACT Strategic Consulting supports emergency management, disaster recovery, compliance, housing recovery, and community-focused solutions.

We also invite attendees to join our panel discussion tomorrow at 1:00 PM:
Small Cities & Counties: Securing a Seat at the Table Post-Disaster featuring special guest panelists and real-world discussion focused on helping smaller communities strengthen their voice and position in post-disaster recovery efforts.

We look forward to seeing everyone in Fort Worth this week.

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Their courage and selflessness are the foundation of the freedoms we hold today, and we pause in gratitude to reflect on their legacy.

As we continue our work to strengthen communities and support resilience across the nation, we do so with deep respect for those who served.

MPACT Strategic Consulting will be closed in observance of Memorial Day.

21 days until FIFA 2026.

Major events bring opportunity, excitement, and increased operational demands for local communities. Preparation matters.

MPACT Strategic Consulting helps organizations strengthen readiness through emergency management support, staffing solutions, operational coordination, compliance, and recovery planning designed to help communities stay resilient under pressure.

As the countdown continues, we’re ready to help communities prepare with confidence.

Thank you to everyone who connected with us during this year’s Coastal Bend Hurricane Conference. From meaningful conversations at our booth to engaging discussions throughout the conference, we appreciated the opportunity to connect with so many professionals dedicated to strengthening disaster recovery and community resilience efforts.

We also want to recognize Joshua Jackson and Kristina Cruz for leading an impactful presentation on “Project Scope Changes in Disaster Recovery: Managing Risk and Community Impact.” With record-breaking attendance across the conference, it was encouraging to see such strong engagement around the importance of managing project scope changes strategically to protect funding, maintain compliance, and support vulnerable communities throughout the recovery process.

We are proud to contribute to conversations that help drive clarity, structure, and long-term resilience for the communities we serve, and we look forward to continuing those connections beyond the conference.

Strategy shouldn’t sit on a shelf. It should evolve, protect, and drive growth.
That’s how resilient organizations are built.
