Christ the King Evangelical Lutheran Church invites you to a monthly environmental education web meeting series whose theme in 2019 is environmental issues, and what you can do. In July, Jaime Gonzalez, Houston Urban Conservation Programs Manager for The Nature Conservancy, will highlight a variety of local environmental issues, and how local people/organizations are coming together to address them. He will explain tools used for environmental action mapping that make collective action more effective. And, he’ll speak about how all of us can work together to create positive environmental change in Houston. Join us online for this insightful talk! Visit www.eventbrite.com/e/ to register.

While much of the focus in disaster debris management planning in southeast Texas is on hurricanes and flooding, other hazards need to be considered in planning. In this 1.5-hour, multimedia-guided webinar, participants will explore considerations in disaster debris management for wildfire and other debris generating incidents. The webinar will examine lessons learned from past incidents, including the Bastrop and Tri-County fires in 2011, tornadoes, and challenges in debris operations as a result of terrorism-related incidents.
