Lessons For RESILIENCE
REGISTER FOR RISING STRONG HERE
Thrive Asheville is moving our community towards long-term resiliency - where all of our residents have better opportunities to thrive - through shared learning and workshops.
This year, we turn our attention to the more distant horizon and consider not what was, but what can be if we work together for a more resilient community. Community-level strengthens our community by fostering long-term health, connectedness, and preparedness. Please join us for the first in our Lessons for Resilience series. We will welcome leaders from WNC to learn how greenways make us safer by reducing the impacts of flooding; how greenways create community connection, and promote economic growth and activity; and, the opportunity to join communities from Morganton to Asheville as part of the North Carolina Trail system. Register HERE for the RISING STRONG event.
Immediately after Hurrican Helene, and for the first year after the disaster, Thrive Asheville supported disaster recovery efforts through expert presentations and education.
With a focus on community-centered recovery, we welcomed experts from other disaster-shaken cities to learn from their experiences. Responses to the Christchurch, New Zealand earthquakes and hurricanes in New Orleans and Houston all share certain common characteristics. Chief among them is the recognition that the most meaningful and robust recoveries are bottom-up efforts that welcome involvement from all sectors and individuals.
