The <a href="http://www.communityresilience-center.org/conferences/local-solutions-conference-2018/" target="_blank">2018 Local Solutions: Eastern Climate Preparedness Conference</a> is for sustainability managers, planners, and local government decision-makers striving to create healthy resilient communities. Our past two conferences drew over 1000 participants to sessions covering all aspects of preparing for severe weather and climate change impacts in the United States. This year, our conference is organized around four tracks: public health, built environment, planning and process, and communications, leadership, and engagement. We will cover a range of climate preparedness and resiliency issues such as sea level rise, urban heat, flooding and vector-borne diseases.</font> <br></div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Convened by Antioch University New England and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the 2018 <a href="http://www.communityresilience-center.org/conferences/local-solutions-conference-2018/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Local Solutions: Eastern Climate Preparedness Conference</a> takes place April 30 through May 2 at The Manchester Downtown Hotel in Manchester, NH.
