How ready is your Public Garden to face extreme weather events and worsening natural hazards? Have you connected with your local emergency management community? Learn the key steps for disaster planning, whether your garden is starting from scratch or strengthening an existing plan. Gain valuable guidance from our Disaster Readiness Specialists to align with your community, state, and federal programs. Gather with peers from your region to discuss challenges and successes, and work together through a facilitated scenario-based exercise to identify how to support each other before, during, and after a disaster.

This workshop is tailored specifically for APGA Members in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont (FEMA Regions 1 & 2).
