Upcoming Events & Past Event Materials

June 24th – 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM

Join the Capital Region Climate Readiness Collaborative for an in-person workshop focused on the emergency preparedness and climate action planning in the Capital Region on June 24 from 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM at the Mack Powell Event Center 2003 Howe Ave, Sacramento, CA 95825.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT:

As climate change accelerates, the frequency and severity of climate-related emergencies​ – such as wildfires, floods, and extreme heat​ – are ​i​ncreasing in the Capital Region.

Local​ and regional governments​ and agencies play a critical role in advancing both emergency readiness and climate resilience. However, these planning efforts often take place in silos. To effectively address growing risks, it is essential to align climate action and emergency planning through innovative, cross-sector​, and cross-departmental collaboration.

This workshop will explore why integrating climate and emergency planning is critical for community safety and resilience. Speakers will share best practices on collaborative approaches and highlight innovative examples, including how evacuation planning is incorporated into new developments​ in high-risk areas and how transportation agencies are preparing.

Join us to meet fellow practitioners and learn how our region can better connect climate action planning and emergency preparedness.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This workshop is open to the public. We strongly encourage public agency staff (cities, counties, regional agencies, special districts, state agencies, etc.), elected officials, non-profit and labor organizations, community-based organizations, private consulting firms, advocacy groups, students, and individuals interested in learning about the Capital Region initiatives and programs to attend this free engaging and informative event.
