The American Meteorological Society (AMS) is presenting a webinar on Wednesday June 1, 2022 from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. PDT on Collaboration Opportunities Between the AMS and Spiritual/Faith-Based Organizations to Build a Weather-Ready Nation.
The webinar aims to "bring together perspectives on the roles of spiritual/faith-based communities and organizations in building a Weather-Ready Nation, and identify opportunities to work together to strengthen community resilience from high-impact weather events."
It is part of a Finding Common Ground Among Science, Spirituality, and Environmentalism Series co-sponsored by Interfaith Power & Light and Creation Justice Ministries to build a weather-ready nation.
Presenter:
Doug Hilderbrand, National Weather Service HQ
Panelists:
Bruce Jones, Midland Radio
Rev. Susan Hendershot, Interfaith Power and Light Director
Marcus T. Coleman Jr., DHS Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships
The Q&A, chat file, anonymous survey results, and attendee list from this webinar will be shared with its organizers.
"Spiritual and faith-based houses of worship are often places of safety, volunteerism, and crisis management during and after high-impact weather events (e.g., hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, flash flooding). Hence, spiritual and faith-based communities can be an integral part of Building a Weather-Ready Nation."
Here's a link to AMS webinars. Full recording of the webinar is now available in the AMS Webinar Directory for AMS members. After 30 days, the webinar will be made accessible to all. https://www.ametsoc.org/index.cfm/ams/webinar-directory/
