Great news! Last week, the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners unanimously voted to join the East Central Florida Regional Resilience Collaborative.
Seminole County joins as the twenty-eighth jurisdiction, and sixth county, in the Collaborative; cities, towns, and counties that join commit to collaboratively identifying and addressing the effects of climate change, such as sea level rise, intensifying hurricanes, and erosion. Members of the Collaborative jointly work on initiatives such as reducing carbon footprint, risks and vulnerabilities utilizing emergency management, and increasing efforts toward sustainability, region-wide.
Prior to joining, Seminole County participated in 约炮视频 Florida and the where cities, towns, and counties paired up with a student from one of three different universities in the region to create Greenhouse Gas Inventories.

Thank you to the 约炮视频 Florida advocates who reached out to their commissioners in favor of joining the Collaborative!
