A Virtual Event
Monday, January 23, 2023
9:30 AM to 11:00 AM

Please join us on January 23, 2023, for a kick-off meeting to discuss considerations and steps to draft a Regional Resiliency Action Plan, which will aim to increase the ability of the Heartland Region to prepare for, withstand and recover from events and stresses such as natural disasters, economic downturns, infrastructure failures, and threats to the security of the region. The Heartland Region includes the seven counties of and communities within DeSoto, Glades, Hardee, Hendry, Highlands, Okeechobee and Polk.

This effort will include creating guidelines for the development of resilient communities, identifying “Best Practices,” and leveraging regional resilience efforts to enhance funding and increase competitiveness for securing grants, with the aim to:

• Protect critical infrastructure
• Build community resilience
• Promote economic stability
• Enhance environmental resilience

The Heartland Regional Resiliency Coalition provides a platform for local governments in the seven-county region to work together to prepare for, withstand and recover from natural and other unexpected events that may adversely impact our economy, security, health, environment, and built infrastructure. Working together, we can create a more resilient Region.
