As destinations face increasing disaster risks, it is important to put plans in place and know the available resources. NC State Tourism Extension is developing resources for destination leaders and tourism stakeholders.
The Destination Ready webinar series kicked off in Spring of 2026 and following each webinar an article was developed highlighting key resources. The 2026 webinar series includes a recap article of each webinar and recordings of most available.
- North Carolina Resource Showcase highlighting valuable NC climate data resources from the NC Climate Office, NC Office of Resilience and Visit NC (Recording, Recap article).
- Destination Organizations Providing Critical Support with initiatives and non-profits we'll hear from Asheville, NC and Greenville, SC (Recording, Recap article).
- Lessons from Events on the Front Lines with insights from the NC Liver Mush Festival, The Mid South Bike Race and the National Weather Service (Recording, Recap article).
- Tourism Workforce Mental Health Toolbox with the expertise of Resources for Resilience (Recap article).
As we look to the future, we are interested in your insights and perspectives for future topics. Please reach out to tourismextension@ncsu.edu with any ideas.
