The Local Government Cybersecurity Alliance is proud to share that Dr. Elisabeth Dubois, Co-founder of LGCA, has been featured in Forbes in an article examining the leaders redefining how communities prepare for and respond to modern crises.
Published September 1, 2026, “The New First Responders: How Visionary Leaders Are Redefining Crisis Management” explores how a new generation of leaders is addressing challenges that traditional emergency response systems were not necessarily designed to confront. From extreme heat and wildfires to cyberattacks targeting local government infrastructure, these threats increasingly require communities to plan for preparedness and resilience long before an emergency begins.
For LGCA, the article reinforces a principle that has guided our work from the beginning: cybersecurity is a community resilience issue.
