Our study of flooding in Boulder and efforts to build resilience here was the focus of a panel session at the Natural Hazards Center Workshop in Broomfield. Panel session participants were Abbie, and colleagues Leah Sprain, Shideh Dashti, Amy Javernick-Will and the Chief Resilience Officer for Boulder, Greg Guibert. We had a great graphic artist (Karina Branson of ConverSketch) record the conversation!
