DOVER, Del. — Local municipalities across Delaware will soon have access to free professional guidance on preparing for and recovering from disaster-related housing challenges.
The Delaware State Housing Authority has joined forces with the University of Delaware’s Sea Grant program to deliver specialized training sessions focused on post-disaster housing recovery and community resilience strategies.
These educational sessions, scheduled to take place in communities statewide, will guide municipal officials through hands-on mapping activities designed to pinpoint vulnerable neighborhoods, identify flood-prone areas with histories of repeated storm damage, and explore options for temporary housing solutions.
The collaborative effort aims to help Delaware’s local governments better prepare for future weather-related emergencies and develop more effective response plans for protecting residents’ housing needs during recovery periods.
