In the past few years, the District has seen record-breaking extreme weather, higher tides caused by rising sea level, heavy rains and flooding, warmer average temperatures, and a rapidly increasing number of dangerously hot days.

As a prelude to Sun Day, meet with resilience experts from the Department of Energy and Environment to learn more about how climate change is impacting DC and how the District government is supporting residents to keep cool, stay dry, and keep the lights on.

Bring your questions and concerns. Take part in the discussion and become part of the solution as we work together for a safer future.

Speakers:

·     Andrea Limauro, Flood Resilience Planner, Natural Resources Administration, DOEE

·     Erin Garnaas-Holmes, Lead Resilience Planner, Urban Sustainability Administration, DO
