A program for community leaders in northern Wisconsin who are looking for ways to address climate change is available through Wisconsin Sea Grant and the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve.
Funding from the National Sea Grant Office and NOAA’s Disaster Preparedness Program will allow Wisconsin Sea Grant to strengthen communities’ resilience to flooding by looking at who lives in the most flood-prone areas of a city.
Speaker Jackson Parr will discuss the Flood Resilience Scorecard and how it helps Wisconsin communities prepare for flooding events and their aftermaths.
Jackson Parr will work with approximately 30 communities to help them assess their resilience to flooding hazards and take steps to safeguard their residents.
Celeste Gunderson, a junior at UW-Madison, is the recipient of the 2020 Carl J. Weston Scholarship from Wisconsin Sea Grant.
The recorded version of a Zoom webinar gives Lake Michigan coastal residents valuable information about water level forecasts, emergency management activities and much more.
