Upcoming  Water Workshops @ Propeller Developing Water Literacy in our Region Wednesday, September 28, 5 — 7 PM  Propeller, 4035 Washington Ave. The importance of developing water literacy in children is a key component in building our region’s understanding of water management in order to face future challenges. This workshop will focus on local efforts to build water literacy and engage our communities in water management beyond the classroom. Panelists: Aron Chang and Claire Anderson, Ripple Effect Jennifer Roberts, Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans Maria Brodine, Groundwork New Orleans Dinah Maygarden, UNO Director of Coastal Education Program / Mississippi River Delta Educational Initiative RSVP LEARN MORE   Emerging Issues Following the 2016 Floods  Wednesday, October 19, 5 — 7 PM  Propeller, 4035 Washington Ave. This workshop will explore some of the emerging issues following the flooding in March of 2016 and the more recent flooding in August. As the losses from the flooding are tallied it is becoming clear that many of the impacts were outside of the mapped floodplain, and that the scale of losses will make recovery a long and complex process. The flooding has sparked conversations regarding the current standards in place, the need for watershed scale planning, and how to reduce the impacts from future flood events. This workshop will focus on lessons learned from these events and opportunities to implement best practices during the recovery. RSVP LEARN MORE   Integrating Resilience into City Operations Monday, November 14, 5 — 7 PM  Propeller, 4035 Washington Ave. With Chief Resilience Officer Jeffrey Hebert stepping into the role of Chief Administrative Officer for the City of New Orleans, is there an opportunity to embed resilience efforts into the daily operations of the City? How has Jefferson Parish’s Stormwater Management Advisory Committee helped integrate stormwater best practices into parish projects? This workshop will explore how resilience and best practices in water management can become operationalized in local government.
