Miami-Dade County has one of the country's most sophisticated emergency management programs, preparing for and responding to 41 disaster scenarios. That includes everything from extreme heat and flooding to cybersecurity attacks. "We run the gamut of the different types of disasters in preparation, response, mitigation, and recovery from those events," said Pete Gomez Director of the Miami Dade Department of Emergency Management. He's responsible for the administration, development, and implementation of the County's Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, which is vital to any region's economic future and how quickly it can bounce back from a disaster.

Yesterday we held a Conversation on our Future focused on the cruise industry with MSC Cruises Chairman Rick Sasso, who shared the cruise line's commitment to to #sustainability and the environment and why the company invested billions to make Miami its home for the cruise division. As #CruiseTourism becomes more mainstream, the company is focused on climate initiatives such as reducing single-use plastics and using shore power. "We do it because we know it's our responsibility," Sasso told the crowd gathered at the Miami-Dade Beacon Council for the conversation led by Beacon CEO Rodrick Miller. PortMiami Deputy Port Director Frederick Wong Jr. also spoke at the event noting PortMiami contributes $61 billion to Miami-Dade County's economy and creates 340,000 jobs, but there's more than tourism sailing through Miami's port. "Not only are we robust on the crew side, but as far as the container industry and the cargo line, we're the number one international container port in the state of #Florida," Wong said.

When it comes to #wastemanagement and #recycling, we usually think of those as government services, paid for with annual tax bills. Recycling and trash pickup, though, can be a viable business.
