CHN Summer Potluck Series Launch: Building Community as we Build Local Resilience - 6/10/26

Climate Health Now, in partnership with Susan Silber from Collective Resilience, invites you to an informative and thought-provoking session on what it takes to be a resilient community, how to build community strength– and safety– in the midst of disasters– climate disruption, extreme heat, loss of normal resources, etc. 

Attendees will learn about the concept of resilience hubs and how they function as vital neighborhood anchors, offering essential resources like cooling centers, air purification systems, clean water, electricity, food, Wi-Fi, etc. 

We will end the session by inviting you to join in our climate resilience-focused summer potluck series and how you can be part of building community and resilience in your area (with our support)!
