Camden Talks Climate, Climate Disasters Can Happen Fast: Are You Ready? Climate disruptions are generating multiplying disasters—from extreme floods and wildfires to super-charged hurricanes. Even areas once considered “climate havens” are facing major events. Learn more about how your family can prepare in a presentation by Sophie Piconi, Executive Director for the American Red Cross Northern New England Region/Midcoast and Central Maine. The first people to respond to disaster are often neighbors helping neighbors. Skye Ljungberg, an intern with Maine Climate Science Information Exchange, will share ideas from model programs where neighborhood pods prepare in advance to checkin on each other and share resources. Handouts will be available, and the session will be recorded.
This program takes place in person and will also be streamed on Zoom. To watch virtually, register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_uNaznT1bRRaRpPWJCONP_g
