When: August 17, 2015 9:00am - 4:00pm
Location: City of Aransas Pass, Aransas Pass Civic Center, 700 W Wheeler Ave, 78336
Overview:
In regions facing both severe weather conditions and burgeoning populations, the potential for disaster is great. In an era of financial austerity, planning becomes even more important - to provide cost-effective solutions which mitigate harm and provide the foundation for rapid recovery. Featuring real data and interactive technology, instructors use case studies and survey data from Florida coastal communities to demonstrate how community planners, floodplain managers and natural resource managers can design and implement planning interventions in their own communities, ultimately creating stronger, more resilient communities.
