SUMMARY:Smart Planning and Funding for Drinking Water and Wastewater Systems
DESCRIPTION:Demand for drinking water and wastewater funding is increasing in communities across Idaho. These demands exceed the available state and federal funding sources that many communities have historically relied on to fund projects. This training will focus on what communities can do when a crucial project does not receive funding. Participants will explore opportunities to develop financially sustainable infrastructure amidst funding shortfalls. \nTraining topics include: \n\nFunding outlook versus current and future demands\nCost drivers impacting projects and anticipated trends\nCase study examples and practical next steps\n\nClick HERE for the workshop agenda\, or copy and paste this link into your browser: https://www2.deq.idaho.gov/admin/LEIA/api/document/download/23788

SUMMARY:The Lingering Storm 20 Years After Katrina—Stories of Hope and Action. Presented by Mother Jones\, Capital B\, and the Texas Observer
DESCRIPTION:Two decades after Hurricane Katrina changed the Gulf Coast—and the nation—forever\, we gather to reflect\, reckon\, and look forward. “The Lingering Storm: Climate Change\, Displacement\, and Action” explores how communities such as Houston have not only responded to the challenges of climate change and displacement but also become stronger\, more connected\, and more determined than ever. \nEvent Highlights: \n\nReporting on Climate Change: Acclaimed journalist Soledad O’Brien (formerly of CNN)\, Mother Jones’ video correspondent Garrison Hayes\, and Capital B’s climate and environment reporter Adam Mahoney reflect on the legacy of Hurricane Katrina and how it reshaped the national conversation around climate reporting. This panel explores how coverage of environmental disasters has evolved since Karina\, what challenges persist\, and how today’s climate crisis continues to impact vulnerable communities across the United States.\nStarting Over and Building Anew: Hear from inspiring voices who’ve turned loss into leadership. In a roundtable panel\, former Houston Mayor Bill White\, Hip Hop Caucus’ Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr.\, and local grassroots leaders explore the immediate and long-term challenges the storm brought to Gulf Coast communities such as Houston—and the resilience\, leadership\, and community-driven efforts that have shaped the path to recovery and renewal.\n\nTogether\, we’ll honor the past\, confront the present\, and imagine a more just and resilient future.

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence in Disaster Preparedness\, Response\, and Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Disaster recovery requires a coordinated set of actions and strategies aimed at restoring affected areas immediately following an event. As the number of disasters per year significantly increases\, emergency managers and responders are inundated with large amounts of data processing and decision-making required for successful response and recovery outcomes. Artificial intelligence (AI) has a significant potential for facilitating many of these activities. By enhancing decision-making and communication\, AI would allow officials to concentrate more effectively on critical aspects of the response. The EPA’s Homeland Security Research Program has been working to leverage AI and enhance disaster readiness for several years. This presentation will showcase real-world applications of AI and its future potential in disaster preparedness and recovery. The EPA is researching AI technology integration in a way that can significantly improve predictive capabilities\, streamline response efforts\, and optimize recovery processes\, ultimately reducing the impact on communities. This presentation will highlight successful implementation of AI in current disaster management scenarios\, providing tangible examples of technology-driven improvements in environmental cleanup outcomes.
