Media Briefing: FEMA’s newly designated Community Disaster Resilience Zones

A media briefing about the need and opportunity for investment in the 483 neighborhoods recently designated as Community Disaster Resilience Zones (CDRZs) — census tracts that have the highest risk for climate disasters and the greatest need for financial and technical support to prepare. These areas are eligible for special federal funding, including through FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program. In this discussion,, hear from five local leaders working on resilience plans that will keep residents safe from super storms, rising seas and other disasters while increasing green space, reducing pollution, creating jobs, and more.
