​Each year, RASCL hosts a statewide summit that brings together resilience practitioners, elected officials, government agencies, and community members to discuss the issues that matter to Delawareans.
This year's theme is "Overcoming Roadblocks to Resilience and Sustainability." Discussions will address capacity issues in Delaware, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and projects that are improving local community resilience and sustainability.
