The Lee County Recovery Task Force will host a public workshop on Thursday, June 8 from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM at Collaboratory, located at 2031 Jackson St., Fort Myers, FL, 33901. The following community resilience topics will be discussed:

   A. Considering a unique approach to community “resilience hubs” – a broad and                   evolving model that can be tailored to meet many needs - from resilient                             communications for social service providers to life-safety support for residents                   following a disaster.

   B. Making arts and culture institutions a more formal part of the effort to reliably                   provide disaster response services and potentially receive funding.

   C. How can Lee County ensure vulnerable populations have access to health-                         supporting care before, during, and after a disaster?

Beginning June 5, the Recovery Task Force will be hosting a series of workshops designed to engage subject-matter experts in the Recovery and Resilience Planning process. The workshops will include presentations and discussions from expert panelists that inform the Recovery and Resilience Plan and allow for public participation in the planning process.
