AUSTIN, Fla. – Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer is scheduled to speak Monday about domestic terrorism at the South by Southwest creative conference.
Dyer is part of a panel for the SXSW Resiliency in the Face of Terrorism session that will discuss how cities respond to attacks in their community like the June 12 Pulse nightclub shooting.
“Terrorism is a domestic and international issue, but the immediate response is always local,” reads the session description.
Dyer will share how the Orlando community responded after the Pulse tragedy, according to a statement from the mayor's office.
