Extreme weather events, like floods, hurricanes, wildfires, and droughts, increasingly challenge communities’ adaptive capacity, particularly in climate-vulnerable regions. While significant advances have been made in physical hazard science, translating these insights into community-level preparedness and resilience remains constrained by disciplinary silos. This session aims to bridge natural hazards sciences with social, historical, and policy perspectives on managing extreme weather events and invites contributions that advance integrated approaches to hazard preparedness and resilience. We welcome abstracts that address water-, wind-, and fire-based extremes, and that incorporate community co-creation, Indigenous and local knowledge, historical analysis, risk communication, and/or decision-support frameworks. Special interest is given to work that connects scientific findings to actionable outcomes for underserved and frontline communities. This session builds on the growing momentum at the intersection of climate-driven extreme events and community resilience, encouraging cross-disciplinary dialogue to support equitable and evidence-based adaptation strategies.
