Join Central Appalachian Network and ReImagine Appalachia for a new webinar series from May – October that will explore disaster resiliency in Appalachia.
July 17th – 12 pm ET via Zoom – Join the Central Appalachian Network and ReImagine Appalachia for the third webinar in a series exploring disaster resiliency in Appalachia. Appalachia’s landscape, including our steep slopes and history of industrial activities, have made our communities uniquely vulnerable to flooding. Restoring and protecting the landscape, including via investments in nature-based solutions, are needed to better protect Appalachian communities. This webinar will explore the problems that need to be addressed as well as potential solutions and feature communities who have begun to implement these ideas at the local level.
