Steps To Resilience Training

Steps to Resilience Training

The Steps to Resilience training is a valuable investment of collaboration and time to build long-term community climate resilience. The training guides walk teams through the five-step framework; introduce the data, tools, and support services; and connect like-minded people across the national resilience ecosystem. Experienced trainers come to each site so that teams can navigate the framework in their community and work across city departments to develop solutions.
