Storytelling
works better than facts alone when motivating people to act.
Stories allow people to form an emotional connection, to learn
from other communities’ challenges and solutions, and to wonder,
“How could this work in my community?”
The Georgetown Climate
Center (GCC) is partnering with the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IX to make local hazard
mitigation and climate adaptation stories available through the
new series, Level Up Audio
Project. FEMA Region IX produced this series
to support local conversations about hazard risk and resilience,
empower communities to advance resilience, strengthen a network
of hazard mitigation and climate adaptation professionals, and
inspire action. Level Up discusses themes including:
· Climate
change;
· Equity,
environmental justice, and social resilience;
· Hazard
mitigation;
· Ecosystems
and natural resilience; and more.
The
Georgetown Climate Center is partnering with FEMA Region IX to
make the Level Up Audio
Project available. This collaboration grew out
of the natural connections between FEMA’s mission to reduce
impacts of disasters, and the Georgetown Climate Center’s work to
help state and local leaders make their communities more
resilient to changes in the climate that exacerbate disaster
impacts. As a resource to states and local governments on climate
change adaptation, GCC helps policymakers and practitioners
identify best practices in adaptation policy, including in hazard
mitigation and post-disaster contexts through legal and policy
analysis, and through GCC’s online resource, the Adaptation
Clearinghouse.
Level Up features
10- to 15-minute conversations with individuals on the United
States’ West Coast who are making hazard mitigation planning and
action a priority in their communities. Tune in to hear how:
· An
immigrants’ rights organization in California made sure all
members of the community were able to rebuild following the Thomas
Fire;
· The City
of Santa Cruz integrated climate adaptation and hazard mitigation
planning processes to ensure more coordinated implementation;
· The City
of Tehama stacked various funding sources to elevate homes and
protect the community from floods; and more.
