Issues of the Environment: How Washtenaw County is preparing for extreme weather before it hits

Rebekah Warren: When severe weather hits, we tend to think about: what happens afterward? Flooded basements, downed trees, damaged roads, power outages and the cost of cleaning it all up. But what if some of the most important work happens before the storm? Here in Washtenaw County, local governments are increasingly looking at how to move from reacting to disasters to actually reducing the risks those disasters create. One of the tools they're using is called a "hazard mitigation plan," a long-term blueprint for identifying vulnerabilities and making investments in those vulnerabilities before they become emergencies. And that work is connected to a much larger vision for resilience and climate action across Washtenaw County. I'm Rebekah Warren, and this is Issues of the Environment. Joining me today is Beth Gibbons, director of the Washtenaw County Resiliency Office. Beth, thank you for being with us today!
