English: Part 2 of 3 of the Briefing Series: "Recovery & Resilience in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands"
More information at: https://www.eesi.org/briefings/view/060320prusvi The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) held a series of one-hour online briefings about resilience initiatives in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and their ongoing recovery from back-to-back natural disasters over the last several years. Speakers: Laurie Schoeman National Director, Resilience and Disaster Recovery, Enterprise Community Partners Download Slides: https://www.eesi.org/files/Laurie_Schoeman_060320.pdf Arturo Massol-Deyá Executive Director, Casa Pueblo de Adjuntas; Faculty Member, Department of Biology, University of Puerto Rico Download Slides: https://www.eesi.org/files/Arturo_Massol-Deya_060320.pdf Every U.S. coast is facing climate adaptation challenges due to rising sea levels and other coastal hazards, but island economies are especially vulnerable. The Fourth National Climate Assessment points to the small size and relative isolation of the U.S. Caribbean islands (including Puerto Rico, Vieques, Culebra, St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John, and Water Island), which means their “social, economic, and ecological systems are likely to be more sensitive to changes in temperature and precipitation than similar systems in the mainland United States.” After Hurricane Maria’s devastating impact on Puerto Rico in 2017, many communities looked within to build their own power (literally and figuratively) and a more sustainable future. In this panel, Arturo A. Massol-Deyá, Executive Director of Casa Pueblo de Adjuntas, and faculty member in the Department of Biology at the University of Puerto Rico, discussed how the community-based group of Casa Pueblo is becoming a model of self-sufficiency with residential solar energy. Laurie Schoeman, National Director, Resilience and Disaster Recovery for Enterprise Community Partners, discussed her work with local partners in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to design housing and community centers that can face the social, economic, and environmental challenges of a changing climate, including the “Resilient Community Center” guide and “Keep Safe, A Guide for Resilient Housing Design in Island Communities." |
