2022 Middle Peninsula Resilience Action Workshop:
The Middle Peninsula RAFT workshop was held virtually on January 28, 2022. The workshop was hosted by The RAFT Core Team to orient participants to The RAFT process and goals, review the region’s Scorecard results and opportunities for improving Middle Peninsula resilience, and support and guide participants through the process of developing a draft One-Year “Resilience Action Checklist” (RAC) for each locality. The RAC development process is designed to allow participants to elevate up to five specific actions to improve resilience over the next year. During the workshop, members of The RAFT Core Team provided context for The RAFT, shared Middle Peninsula resilience findings, and opportunities that surfaced through interviews and focus groups, and facilitated the development of draft resilience action checklists for each locality.
