Will our power and water services hold up under perilous circumstances? In order to be resilient, critical infrastructure & services are fully integrated, distributed, and redundant. At this event, we'll hear about work being done to make these services reliable during extreme events. This is the sixth event in the 2021-22 North Bay Forward "Building Resilience" monthly speaker series, a year-long conversation to increase community collaboration on resilience to climate change. Watch recorded event here: Building Resilience: Critical Services During Extreme Events, March 9, 2022

At each event, leaders working on local resilience projects talk about their work and discuss with the audience ways we can collaborate. Resilience can only be achieved through collaboration and authentic representation, and throughout we will focus on ensuring that those of us most affected by climate change have a voice at the table. 

Leaders

Discussion moderated by Kristin Cushman, Co-founder & CEO, EcoShift Consulting. Panelists include:
