Climate Action: How to Prepare for Flooding in Northeast Queens

This climate discussion panel brings together diverse perspectives on the impacts of rain-based flooding events and subsequent responses from local residents, researchers, community organizations, and city agencies. During this program, we hope to share personal experiences and explore practical solutions that will help our neighbors become more prepared to weather extreme rain events in the future.

Food and beverages will be served at 5:30pm EDT. The panel will last from 6 to 7pm EDT, followed by audience Q&A.
