East Central Florida Regional Climate Indicators Kick-Off Workshop - November 3 |
|
The Florida Climate Institute, UF’s GeoPlan Center, Stetson University, and the East Central Florida Regional Resilience Collaborative (ECFR2C) invite you to discuss climate indicators for the East Central Florida region.
We'll discuss how to plan and prepare for the following impacts in the east central Florida region:
-
Extreme Precipitation/ Severe Storms: How can we project, prepare, and plan for extreme precipitation and flooding impacts?
-
Heat and Public Health: How can we project, prepare, and plan for rising temperatures, extreme heat, and impacts to public health?
This is a hybrid event available both in-person and virtually, held on Wednesday, November 3 from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm.
The in-person session will be held at the Stetson University Aquatic Center.

This two-day virtual workshop will bring together people with lived experience, environmental health experts, resilience practitioners, and climate scientists to outline the disproportionate impact that climate change has on communities experiencing health disparities and environmental injustice.
Registration is free and open to the public. This is the first workshop in a four-part series.
Day 1: Tuesday, October 12, 11am-4pm EST
Day 2: Thursday, October 14, 12pm-4pm EST

It was developed with stormwater engineers, floodplain managers, planners, and public works staff in mind. It is an interactive website that helps users evaluate the impacts of sea level rise, high tides, storm surge, and heavy precipitation on stormwater infrastructure. It can be used to calculate a stormwater system's vulnerability and identify corrective measures.
A detailed guide to this resource can be found here.
