COURSE DESCRIPTION: This workshop will build upon the previous course “Climate Series #1: Climate Change 101", which provided an introduction to planning for climate change impacts using examples from tribes that have been going through the hazard mitigation process. This second course will provide information on how climate change considerations can be mainstreamed into FEMA multi-hazard mitigation plans while considering cultural values, priorities and indigenous knowledges. The course agenda will include tribal case studies and representatives from FEMA, ITEP, and the Northwest and Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Centers to provide knowledge and guidance on the process.

WHEN: October 18-21, 2021

WHERE: Virtual/Online via Zoom

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Tribal environmental, natural resource and emergency management personnel from the western region who expect to be or are currently involved in climate change resilience planning including hazard mitigation planning.
