15 Sep Calhoun County, FL – Rural Resiliency Hubs: An Integrated, Community-Centered Approach to Addressing the Resiliency Divide through Rural Public Libraries​ (NSF Award ID: 2133308)

Marcia Mardis, Florida State University

Calhoun County and Florida State University are working with local and regional leaders and citizens to inclusively design tailored rural resilience hubs sited in public library branches in each county district, five in total. Because public libraries as recognized centers of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery, this project will identify opportunities to expand and strengthen community collaborations and detail needed information flows to better address the resiliency divide rural citizens often experience in disaster events.
