Event Details
Hazard mitigation can be a challenging concept for communities to understand. Using the arts to explain the risks of climate change and natural hazards, such as flooding and extreme heat, can be an effective way to help people of all ages learn how to take action and become better prepared. Join us to learn how Nurture Nature Center is using a variety of artistic approaches to help communities explore mitigation strategies and build community resilience.
FEMA Region 3 hosts a webinar series for anyone who wants to reduce risk in their community. These hour-long “Coffee Breaks” are held every other month. They share mitigation best practices and highlight the work happening at the federal, regional, state and community levels to reduce risk in Region 3.
Coffee Break webinars are open to anyone in the hazard mitigation, resiliency or risk reduction planning fields. This work can be in the public or private sectors. Community planners, emergency and floodplain managers, GIS technicians, government officials, and contractors can attend.
