The entire nation is facing increasing climate hazards, including flooding, extreme heat, wildfires, and poor air quality. Resilience hubs are making their debut in cities across the nation and serve to support residents before, during, and after a natural hazard. They can play a role in preparation and protection related to extreme heat, flooding, extreme weather, and emergency preparedness. This panel discusses the form they can take, their necessity, effectiveness, and impact, as well as the potential need to see more hubs across the country.
