Details:
The Chesapeake Bay Trust is partnered with the Prince George’s County, Department of the Environment, to administer the Prince George’s County Community Resilience Hub Grant Program. Prince George’s County, as recommended in both its Climate Action Plan (CAP) and Climate Action Implementation Strategy Plan, aims to create “Resilience Hubs” to help communities and residents facing increased threats as the climate changes, bringing more severe rain events and more frequent and persistent excessive heat events – threatening human health, livelihoods, food security, and more. These hubs help with everyday community needs during times of disruption and periods of recovery.
Neighborhoods and businesses are faced with a growing need for readily available resources throughout the year and especially around extreme weather events (e.g., heat, flooding, and other hazards that interrupt daily life and impact safety). There is a need to establish and support climate resilience hubs to engage community members in programming on climate change, sustainability, and emergency preparedness. Resilience hubs offer targeted support during local climate-related events, helping Prince Georgians recover more quickly and safely while fostering community support as a key step toward greater resilience. Climate resilience hubs must be tailored to specific local needs, easy to access, and provided through trusted mechanisms. Theyseek community-based organizations that can provide these needed services by developing climate resilience hubs.
