Tuesday, June 17th, at 1 pm ET via Zoom – Join the Central Appalachian Network and ReImagine Appalachia for the second webinar in a series exploring disaster resiliency in Appalachia. This webinar will discuss how communities, houses of worship, local governments and more can be transformed into resilience hubs, which help communities prepare for and recover from natural disasters. These hubs can provide safe spaces, clean energy through solar panels and battery storage, and other precautions when weather events, outages, and other problems strike.
This webinar will also include information on the new mini-grant program mentioned above that aims to increase capacity for local communities to implement disaster resilience planning and programming, as well as the launch of the Central Appalachian Networks new Resilience Hub Resource List.
