SUMMARY:Talk - Reconciling with resilience: How Maine can bounce back from floods
DESCRIPTION:The talk will be held virtually via Zoom and in-person at 107 Norman Smith Hall\, UMaine\, Orono. \n\nVirtual attendance: Complete the registration form for Zoom connection information\n\nCo-sponsors:  \n\nMaine Climate Science Information Exchange\nEcology & Environmental Sciences\, UMaine\nDept. of Communication & Journalism\, UMaine\nCivil & Environmental Engineering\, UMaine\n\nSpeaker: Emmett Gartner\, Environmental Reporter\, The Maine Monitor \nLast winter’s devastating storms revealed just how vulnerable Maine communities are to flooding\, whether they’re behind seawalls along the coast or nestled on rivers in the state’s mountainous interior. \nIn the aftermath of that flooding\, Maine Monitor reporter Emmett Gartner traveled across the state to report on how effectively communities weathered the storms\, speaking with local officials about their plans to fortify their towns against the rising seas and more frequent\, intensifying storms brought on by climate change. \nJoin Emmett at the University of Maine’s Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions on April 21 at 3PM as he discusses his reporting on the challenges Maine faces in building resilience to flooding and what solutions exist at the state and local levels to prepare Maine for what’s to come. \nEmmett Gartner is an environmental reporter for The Maine Monitor and contributor to The Monitor’s weekly environmental newsletter\, Climate Monitor. Having grown up on the Chesapeake Bay\, Emmett has long been interested in stories of adaptation and accountability. He joined the newsroom in 2023 as a Roy W. Howard fellow and now explores how environmental policy aligns with Mainers’ lived experiences and where climate change complicates the status quo. Previously\, he reported for a daily newspaper in western Maryland and spent separate summer stints working as a trail maintenance worker in Nevada\, a wildland firefighter in Oregon and an environmental educator on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
