David Mears ’91, Commissioner of Vermont’s Department of Environmental Conservation
The flood disasters of 2011 tested Vermont’s ability to respond to natural disasters and heightened fears
about future emergencies. Commissioner Mears will discuss Vermont’s response to Irene while reflecting
upon what this type of catastrophe can tell us about our relationships to each other and to the natural world.
