Coordination is a critical part of the Resilient Florida Program. Among other activities, the program hosts a quarterly webinar forum that allows attendees from all over the state to hear what their counterparts are working on.
Participants provide project updates, introduce new resources and, most importantly, engage with each other asking for advice and recommendations.
Audience members include consultants as well as staff from city, county, state and federal government entitles, universities and nongovernmental organizations.
