Join Sustainable Pittsburgh for a timely webinar on how Pennsylvania communities can strengthen stormwater systems and hazard response plans in the face of increasingly extreme weather.
Recent storms have overwhelmed parts of the state causing flash flooding, infrastructure damage, and public safety concerns.
These recurring downpours are becoming more and more common in a changing climate.
With annual precipitation up nearly 10% and extreme rain events on the rise, Pennsylvania faces growing risks from flooding, heat waves, windstorms, and freeze-thaw cycles.
This session will explore how local governments can integrate stormwater management and hazard mitigation into long-term community resilience planning. Experts will share best practices, funding opportunities, and tools.
It will also highlight how these efforts support Sustainable PA certification and help to contribute to a stronger, more equitable future for all residents.
Who Should Attend: Municipal staff; Local elected officials; Sustainability professionals; and Other stakeholders
