Collaboration Corner!


Do you have a question or a request for information, resources, or connections that you’d like to send out to SCDRP’s wide network of disaster resiliency and climate professionals? Email us at scdrp@secoora.org with your request and contact information, and it may be featured in our next newsletter!

Things we're excited about....

The EPA’s Equitable Resilience Builder (ERB) is a tool designed to support local government agencies and community-based organizations in equitable resilience planning. The ERB guides users through the resiliency planning process with activities and action items that focus on building equity. Visit the website to download the tool, read about Equitable Resilience, or attend monthly Zoom Office Hours with EPA researchers to learn more about how to use the tool to build equitable resilience in your community.

Take me to the ERB Tool!
