A new training opportunity for post-disaster development planning:
Post-Disaster Redevelopment Planning Workshop
A one-day training workshop for urban and regional planners, emergency managers and citizens interested in planning for building more resilient communities after a disaster. This workshop will provide an introduction to post-disaster redevelopment planning, its benefits and the process for developing a plan; additionally, the Post-Disaster Redevelopment Planning Guidebook will be presented as a tool to assist local governments. The Guidebook contains best-practices and lessons learned from the PDRP pilot community plans. This workshop will also launch a grant application for additional communities wanting to develop their community plan.
Those interested in attending can sign up on the Florida Division of Emergency Management’s training calendar at http://www.floridadisaster.org/trainingcalendar
