Resilient DC Open House – Ward 1

Last Date:

Mayor Bowser established the Resilient DC initiative to build DC’s resilience to both catastrophic shocks and chronic stresses in order to ensure that DC thrives in the face of change. This includes being resilient to major changes in the economy, technology, and climate. We are making progress in our work to develop a DC’s first resilience strategy and want to update you on our work. To that end, the Office of the City Administrator is hosting open houses in each Ward to share the work done to date and hear your ideas on how we can make DC more resilient.
