Sandy, One Year Later: Looking to the Future
Part of the Lewis M. Branscomb Forum series
When: Tuesday, October 29, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Where: Monmouth University, West Long Branch, New Jersey
Presented by the Union of Concerned Scientists, Monmouth University, New Jersey Future, and New Jersey Recovery Fund.
If you are unable to attend the forum in person, click here to register for the live webcast. And invite your friends and colleagues.
The danger from extreme weather events, particularly coastal flooding, will increase in the coming years. As we brace for more damaging storms, we must: improve prediction, response and recovery; better integrate science in risk assessments; create more resilient infrastructure; and ensure that communities have what they need in order to make good planning decisions that benefit all community members. The forum will bring together individuals from a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds for a frank and honest discussion of the challenges we face and the choices we have to make.
An agenda and speaker list will be available on the forum webpage soon. I hope you can join us.
Sincerely,
