Lincoln Bormann\, Director of the San Juan County Land Bank\, will explain how the REET was established and how it has supported land conservation over the past 25 years. Ryan Page\, the Affordable Housing Coordinator for San Juan County\, will then showcase a second REET that was established to work alongside the land conservation efforts to support affordable housing.\nOften thought of as competing priorities\, this talk will highlight how conservation and affordable housing\, two of the most pressing needs in our region\, can work together when the political will exist to meet these dual priorities.

Vickers\, Assistant Professor of Race/Racialization in the Department of Law\, Societies & Justice at the University of Washington\, brings listeners on a journey through the history of Black swampland inhabitation in Lowcountry South Carolina. Introducing attendees to concepts like “racialization” and “the invention of nature\,” Dr. Vickers will demonstrate how the transformation of “wasted” wetland space and the denigration of “undesirable” people was and continues to be an explicitly social and racial project. This talk will highlight the role of average citizens\, large-scale farmers\, businesses\, and policymakers in the social and material transformation of the Lowcountry\, ultimately resulting in the drying of floodplains\, the rerouting of rivers\, and the construction of dams\, levees\, and other public works projects. The talk will conclude with a brief discussion around the present legacies of channelization and racialization\, identifying how we might address the avulsions and crises of the present and future.\nAs always\, we welcome feedback and ideas for upcoming topics so please don’t hesitate to reach out to myself (Allan Warren awarren@b-e-f.org)\, Carol MacIlroy (cmacilroy@gmail.com)\, or Austin Bernales (abernales@b-e-f.org).\nZoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84542310435\nPasscode: 1234 URL:https://floodplainsbydesign.org/event/fbd-lunch-learn-series-topics-updated-monthly-13/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260205T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260205T105000 DTSTAMP:20260408T223033 CREATED:20260108T175040Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260402T171519Z UID:372664-1770285600-1770288600@floodplainsbydesign.org SUMMARY:Permitting Coordination Meetings DESCRIPTION:There are pulses of activity and different forums where permitting efforts are taking place\, making it challenging for people to track and engage effectively.

This calendar invite will be updated with a detailed agenda and packet to follow.\nThis special FPAG meeting will have two complementary but distinct parts:\n1) 1:00-2:00pm – RESPONSE AND RECOVERY: Flash descriptions + scoping of interest in future focused flood recovery conversations\, including but not limited to:\n * Re-Mapping after floods\n * Substantial damage enforcement\n * Elevations and buyouts\n * Helping overwhelmed communities\n * Considerations for placing temporary housing\nWe will be joined by Ecology staff\, Derrick Hiebert\, Luis Rodriguez\, Dale Meck (AECOM); and Adrienne Sheldon (Tidal Basin Group). This hour would by no means provide time for deep conversation\, but will provide space to prioritize topics\, share specific requests and shape potential future\, more in depth conversations.\n2) 2:00-3:00pm – NEED And VISION – aligning our messaging and strengthening the case for recovery and resilience. We have a unique opportunity to rebuild and unbuild back smarter. The integrated floodplain network is poised in new ways to respond and act in poignant and hopefully powerful ways. We will take time to walk through an emerging needs list and vision and talk about how we can work together to support this important work.\nPlease see this vision for flood recovery and resilience and an emerging needs dashboard.\nFor additional reference the previous FPAG meeting notes from December 3rd can be viewed here.\nZoom Meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5653221882?omn=88053638300\nPasscode: 1234 URL:https://floodplainsbydesign.org/event/fbd-funding-policy-action-group-special-meeting-recovery-and-resilience-in-the-wake-of-december-2025-flooding/ LOCATION:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5653221882?omn=88053638300 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260122T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260122T105000 DTSTAMP:20260408T223033 CREATED:20260108T175040Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260402T171519Z UID:372663-1769076000-1769079000@floodplainsbydesign.org SUMMARY:Permitting Coordination Meetings DESCRIPTION:There are pulses of activity and different forums where permitting efforts are taking place\, making it challenging for people to track and engage effectively.
