Understanding Mitigation in Communities is Part of Pediatric Disaster Readiness…Please share with your emergency manager community!

The Natural Hazards Center, in partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is pleased to invite you to the Making Mitigation Work Webinar Series. These free one-hour webinars feature innovative speakers and highlight recent progress in mitigation policy, practice, and research.

Please join us on Tuesday, April 13, 2021 from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. Eastern for Implementing Mitigation Near and Far: U.S. States, New Zealand, and Applied Research. This webinar will examine the capacity and processes that communities use to implement mitigation strategies from two perspectives—that of state hazard mitigation officers in the United States and of local officials in New Zealand. Using the results of a survey of U.S. state hazard mitigationofficers, speaker Gavin Smith will provide insight on how to build the capacity needed to effectively implement Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants offered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

You can learn more and register for the webinar here.
