Join us in this new monthly webinar series focused on recovery, re-thinking, and rebuilding in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.  On Wednesday, January 29th, we will hear from Dr. Jamie Shinn of SUNY ESF who has been exploring and supporting responses to a significant flood disaster that took place in West Virginia in 2016.  This region shares features similar to our own, and Jamie will share important insights and lessons that can help us rethink recovery and rebuilding in Western North Carolina with an emphasis on community resilience.  Chris Joyell, Director of the Healthy Communities program and the Appalachian Design Center with MountainTrue, will provide an overview of their wide-ranging efforts to engage local communities (including Swannanoa) in recovery, resilience, and rebuilding through a coordinated planning and engagement process.  This promises to be an illuminating conversation, and we invite you to join us.
