7:00-8:00 PM | �þ�� Sustainability Week Keynote: A Stronger, Safer, More Resilient North Carolina with Kathie Dello (McKinnon Hall, Moseley Center)

North Carolina is preparing for a future shaped by stronger storms, increased flooding, extreme heat, and other natural hazards. Drawing on her experience as both North Carolina’s former State Climatologist and her current role as the Assistant Secretary for Resilience at the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Kathie Dello will explain how resilience moves beyond disaster response to reduce risk before disasters occur, especially in the wake of the three damaging hurricanes that hit North Carolina in less than a decade. She will highlight the state’s resilience work through the Flood Resiliency Blueprint, and community-based programs that help local governments identify vulnerabilities and invest in long-term solutions. She will also discuss how partnerships with universities and local leaders contribute to stronger, safer communities across North Carolina.

This event is free and open to the public.
