Howdy!
Welcome to an outline of the in-person Kaufman County CHARM Resiliency Workshop.
A CHARM workshop is different than most workshops. CHARM is an interactive mapping tool developed by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension that helps a community see how planning decisions made today will impact their communities tomorrow. Working together around interactive tables, participants explore hazards and risks to their communities, identify opportunities for mitigation and better planning, and learn about steps your community can take to become more resilient.
Get ready for an interesting and interactive workshop. We look forward to meeting all of you!
