The City of Flagstaff Sustainability Office has partnered with the NAU Climate Science and Solutions (CSS) Graduate Program to create a resource document on resilience for the City of Flagstaff.
 
The CSS graduate class will draw from several foundational documents on adaptation, resilience, and the expected climate changes that will occur in Flagstaff. The final product will be a resource to support City of Flagstaff staff, City Council, and the community.
 
The students will complement their research with community conversations through the following forums:

• A Flagstaff Community Forum survey.
• An online community discussion event.
• Presentations to the Sustainability Commission, the Commission on Diversity Awareness, and the Commission on Inclusion and Adaptive Living.

At this meeting, the students will introduce themselves and their upcoming work to the City Council, and will solicit City Council feedback.
 
The class will present the completed resource document to the City Council during the November 30th City Council work session.
