Building a Flood Resilient Future in MI Watersheds
How do we understand flood risk? And how will climate change affect risk in the future? In this presentation, Dr. Wendy Robertson of the Institute for Great Lakes Research at Central Michigan University will talk about floods and flooding, how our rivers might experience flooding in the future, and how we can prepare ourselves, our communities, and our region to be resilient to flooding and its impacts moving forward. Meet at the Visitor Center.
