This includes its most vulnerable residents. This webinar will highlight updates to FEMA’s mitigation planning policy. It shares data tools you can use to identify and engage socially vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in your community. It will also feature a case study of the city of Oakland’s Equitable Climate Adaptation Plan and how the city carried its equity-focused planning processes into the local hazard mitigation plan.  Learn about the different types of equity that emerge in the planning process. Hear why equity matters, and how to use both tools and community conversations to create a more equitable hazard mitigation plan.  Register Here Attendees may be eligible for 1 Continuing Education Credit from the Association of State Floodplain Managers and 1 Certification Maintenance Credit from the American Institute of Certified Planners.  Questions?
