Howdy!
Welcome to the Cameron County CHARM Resiliency Workshop. This is a two day workshop. Day one will be virtual via zoom. Day two will be in person.
A CHARM workshop is different than most workshops. CHARM is an interactive mapping tool developed by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension that helps community see how planning decision made today will impact their communities tomorrow. Working together around interactive tables, participants explore hazards and risks to their communities, identify opportunities for mitigation and better planning, and learn about steps your community can take to become more resilient.
Get ready for an interesting and interactive workshop. We look forward to meeting all of you!
