September 24, 2024 - October 9, 2024. National Resilience Guidance (NRG) Webinar Series. Virtual. FEMA will host a series of 60-minute webinar sessions to provide an overview of the National Resilience Guidance by sections and other supplemental resilience resources. The National Resilience Guidance emphasizes that strengthening resilience requires a collective approach. A resilient nation is created and sustained through thriving communities with secure and adaptable social, economic, environmental, housing, infrastructure, and institutional systems. Addressing resilience from only one perspective or through only one resilience lens will not be successful. Advance registration is required and on a first-come, first-served basis.

September 25, 2024. Opportunities for Renewable Energy on Contaminated Sites under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. Virtual. The EPA-administered Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) will be investing $27 billion in federal resources, and mobilizing significant additional private capital, over the next five to seven years to address the climate crisis. Among GGRF-eligible clean energy investments are renewable energy projects on contaminated sites such as brownfields, landfills, and former mine lands. In this webinar, learn how some GGRF grantees could support financing for renewables on contaminated sites and how others may choose to consider clean energy redevelopment of these sites.
