In 2020, Nashville weathered the worst disasters and security risks in the city’s 238-year history, facing a tornado, the Covid-19 pandemic, a derecho, and a bombing on Christmas Day. The Mayor’s Office will partner with a FUSE Executive Fellow for one year to shepherd multiple after-action reports for these 2020 disasters, ideating and implementing a strategy for long-term disaster recovery and community resilience.
