The COAST (Community Outreach and Strategic Training) Resilience Institute is a year-long training program aimed at equipping local leaders, municipal staff and community decision-makers with the latest science-based research for enhancing decision-making and increasing resilience.
Trainings will be offered in four sessions: winter, spring summer and fall in both Alabama and Mississippi.
Participants are eligible for AICP and CFM credits. There are no minimum attendance requirements to participate, and participants are encouraged to attend as many training sessions as they are interested in.
Different trainings will be offered throughout the year on topics like the Community Rating System and green infrastructure.
