Join Urban on Wednesday, December 13, for a discussion on community disaster resilience zones (CDRZs). The event will feature a conversation among researchers, elected officials, subject-matter experts, community advocates, nonprofit organizations, and resilience professionals who aim to build a more disaster- and climate-resilient nation through CDRZ investments.
