Fall 2024 Resiliency Academy Session 1 — The Latest on Climate in the Mid-Atlantic

Join us as we kick off the Fall 2024 Resiliency Academy with a look at current and projected climate risks for the Mid-Atlantic region.

As our climate is changing, we are experiencing more extreme events, such as heat waves and storms, which are impacting the way our communities need to plan. The first session of the Fall Resiliency Academy will discuss climate risks for the Mid-Atlantic region including a high-level overall view of risks and a closer look at risks from extreme precipitation and heat. We'll also take a look at how extreme events are impacting the coast.
