Disaster recovery and sustainable redevelopment don't have to conflict. Communities can rebuild faster and smarter by integrating brownfields into their disaster planning strategies. This session explores how EPA Brownfield grants can support both pre- and post-disaster recovery efforts from planning and assessment to reuse and resilience-building. Learn how to align brownfield grants with disaster recovery timelines, stack funding sources, and incorporate resilience into rebuilding efforts. Whether you're preparing for future risks or navigating recovery after a recent event, it's never too early (or too late) to plan for a more resilient future. The Center for Creative Land Recycling (CCLR) will share tools and guidance to help communities identify partners, challenges, and grant opportunities that support vibrant, equitable recovery and redevelopment after disaster strikes.
