SUMMARY:Mitigating Climate Change by Transitioning to a Renewable Resource-Based Economy
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by: \nDr.   Steven Cohen\nExecutive Director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University \nClimate change is the first widely recognized global crisis of environmental sustainability. Its solution requires the implementation of a transition from a fossil-fuel based energy economy to one built on renewable resources. This transition requires the development and diffusion of new technologies. The technological challenges of this transition will require significant political\, organizational and financial resources and capacities. This talk will discuss the challenges of this transition and outline a path for meeting these challenges by the middle of the 21st century. \nThis lecture is free and open to the public but space is limited. \nMonday\, February 26th\n2:00 PM\nWilliam Pitt Union\, Assembly Room\nUniversity of Pittsburgh\, Oakland Campus

SUMMARY:Workshop: Lowering Cost of Flood Insurance
DESCRIPTION:More frequent and intense storm events have led to a greater flood risk in our region. National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) flood insurance policy holders throughout the SPC region collectively pay millions of dollars in flood insurance premiums every year. Municipal   officials have the opportunity to put hundreds of thousands of dollars back into their residents’ and business owners’ pockets. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Community Rating System (CRS) Program promotes strong floodplain management practices and provides discounts on NFIP flood insurance premiums throughout participating jurisdictions. This session will discuss the CRS Program\, how to determine if participation is right for a municipality\, municipal activities that would earn CRS Program credit\, and how to enter and succeed in the CRS Program.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Lowering Flood Risk and the Cost of Flood Insurance
DESCRIPTION:More frequent and intense storm events have led to a greater flood risk in our region. National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) flood insurance policy holders throughout the SPC region collectively pay millions of dollars in flood insurance premiums every year. Municipal officials have the opportunity to put hundreds of thousands of dollars back into their residents’ and business owners’ pockets. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Community Rating System (CRS) Program promotes strong floodplain management practices and provides discounts on NFIP flood insurance premiums throughout participating jurisdictions. This session will discuss the CRS Program\, how to determine if participation is right for a municipality\, municipal activities that would earn CRS Program credit\, and how to enter and succeed in the CRS Program.
