Description: To kick off the new semester's institute meeting, we have Dr. Katya Wowk from TAMUCC to give us a talk titled: "Building Coastal Bend Capacity for Resilience."iDr. Wowk will discuss the widespread destruction to Texas caused by Hurricane Harvey. Particularly at the local level, an ongoing challenge is a lack of capacity to strategically target and implement priority actions to mitigate risk. The Regional Resilience Partnership (RRP) of the South Texas Coastal Bend will work with local officials, business partners, non-profits, and community organizations to help bring communities from recovery to holistic resilience, meaning healthy communities, economies, ecosystems and strong and resilient infrastructure. RRP will be led by the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi (HRI) and the Coastal Bend Council of Governments (CBCOG).
