REBUILDING AND RESILIENCY: ENSURING PUERTO RICO CAN SURVIVE IN A FUTURE OF INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS WEATHER IN THE CARIBBEAN - Panelist
This workshop will focus on rebuilding and resiliency projects in Puerto Rico since the destruction brought by the 2017
hurricanes. Since 2017, hundreds of CUNY and SUNY professors, students, and staff have volunteered their time and
dedicated themselves to recovery and projects after the devastation caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Resiliency efforts include sending experts in a variety of fields and supplies to the island that will ensure Puerto Rico’s ability to withstand future storms.
