Kriseman was one of four Florida mayors who talked about lessons learned from several intense hurricanes that have battered the state in recent years during a panel discussion at a workshop hosted by the Initiative on Coastal Adaptation and Resilience, or iCAR. The mayors head cities that have each had a major hit or a close call from a major hurricane.
