Major disasters are occurring at an alarming rate and Vermonters are calling for action. In response to the extreme weather events Vermont faced in 2023, Rebuild by Design released the Atlas of Disaster: Vermont, highlighting 17 federally declared disasters and advocating for long-term infrastructure funding. Join us on December 5th at noon for the first in an educational series to equip legislators and communities with knowledge for equitable climate adaptation.
Topics will include:
– Vermont’s Climate Risks
– Designing Collaborative Outreach Processes with Communities
– Centering Environmental Justice Communities and Community Engagement
– Building Resilience in Rural Communities
Rebuild by Design is a non-partisan group working with local Vermont organizations to co-host a virtual multi-part educational series targeted at educating current and incoming legislators, and building local capacity and knowledge to equitably adapt to extreme weather events in Vermont. Panels will feature local leaders, national experts, and legislators to educate, respond to the questions we have heard, and give opportunities to local organizations to showcase their work.
