Escambia County officials will host representatives from Texas A&M and the Nature Conservancy as they present "Preparing for Change: Building Resilient Coastal Communities." The meeting will be held Friday, April 10, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Escambia County Central Office Complex, 3363 West Park Place.

Escambia County partnered with Texas A&M University and The Nature Conservancy to examine flood loss from coastal flooding and extreme rain events. This project analyzed flood loss scenarios, modeling for future events and strategies to avoid/mitigate flood damage.
