ICYMI: DSHA, UD Sea Grant to host disaster recovery planning workshops

The Delaware State Housing Authority is partnering with the University of Delaware’s Sea Grant program to offer free disaster housing recovery and resiliency planning workshops for municipalities across Delaware.

The workshops will guide towns through mapping exercises designed to identify high-risk flood areas, storm-prone locations and possible interim housing sites following disasters. Organizers said the sessions are aimed at local and county planners, planning commissioners, elected leaders and professionals involved in community development, land use, permitting and inspections.

“The mapping exercise is a foundational and practical steppingstone to disaster housing preparedness and comprehensive planning for communities on post-disaster preparedness,” said DSHA’s Emergency Management Coordinator Vanessa Cullen.
