Capacities Identification Workshops
As part of the development of Estuario’s Hazard Mitigation Plan for the communities of the San Juan Bay Estuary Watershed, a new series of workshops begins Tuesday, September 7, 2021. As the name implies, the Capacities Identification Workshops focus on the identification and documentation of the abilities, resources, attributes and strengths that help communities better manage and face natural disasters.
The workshops have been divided by municipality, and serve the communities of Bayamón, Canóvanas, Carolina, Cataño, Guaynabo, Loíza, San Juan, Toa Baja and Trujillo Alto. Members of the public interested in taking part in Estuario’s Hazard Mitigation Plan development can register through https://estuario.org/capacidades/.
