Registration now open for NOAA's two-part course on
Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Hazards!
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management and the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) will host a course to prepare coastal managers and planners to plan and implement green (natural) infrastructure projects to reduce natural coastal hazards in their community.
The course consists of the following two parts:
-
Part 1: The Basics (online module)
A self-guided online module, Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Hazards: The Basics, that covers foundational concepts prior to attending the in-person event.
Part 1 should be completed before attending Part 2.
-
Part 2: Developing a Strategy (in-person workshop)
September 15, 2022, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Otsego Resort, 696 M-32, Gaylord, MI 49735
An in-person one-day workshop where participants interact with their peers and local experts to develop a green infrastructure strategy.
After completing the two-part course, participants will be able to describe the green infrastructure practices that can reduce hazard impacts and build resilience in their community and list considerations for choosing techniques. Participants will work together to develop the beginnings of a green infrastructure strategy that considers hazard reduction benefits, co-benefits, design, maintenance, costs, and implementation through partnerships, funding, and policy.
Continuing education credits:
Participants can earn six hours of certification maintenance credits approved by the American Institute of Certified Planners and five core continuing education credits through the Association of State Floodplain Managers.
