Webinar — Designing Resilience Hubs That Work When the Grid Doesn’t
RegisterAbout This Event
Severe storms, extreme temperatures, and widespread power outages are increasingly straining cities across the United States. As federal incentives phase out, local governments and community organizations face a critical question: how can they protect residents, maintain essential services, and deliver lasting community benefits simultaneously?
Community resilience hubs offer a proven answer. By integrating clean solutions — such as energy efficiency, solar, battery storage, and heat pumps — into trusted community spaces, resilience hubs can provide reliable heating and cooling, backup power, and critical services during emergencies, while delivering everyday benefits year-round.
Join RMI for this timely webinar launching our new Community Resilience Hub Learning Series, where we will explore how cities and communities can plan, fund, and deploy clean resilience solutions at community hubs in today’s evolving policy and energy landscape.
What to Expect:
- A clear overview of Community Resilience Hubs — what they are, how they function, and how clean technologies such as solar, battery storage, heat pumps, and energy efficiency measures are integrated into hub design
- Benefits and challenges of deploying clean technologies at resilience hubs today, particularly as funding landscapes shift and federal incentives phase out
- A panel discussion with cities and community organizations at various stages of development, from early planning to fully operational hubs
- Live Q&A with the panelists and RMI experts, giving you the chance to ask questions specific to your community
- The official launch of RMI’s free Community Resilience Hub Workshop Series, including an overview of what participants will receive and how to apply
Whether you are a city leader, community-based organization, utility, or resilience practitioner, this webinar will help you understand how resilience hubs can strengthen your community.
