Webinar presenting a Model Recovery Plan
On February 11, 2020, our team presented a practical tool for undertaking post-flood recovery in Québec. Working in collaboration with the Québec Civil Security Association and the Ministry of Public Security, Cité-ID presented a Model Recovery Plan. The aim of the webinar was to familiarize participants with the tools included in the Plan so that they might eventually adopt them and try them out in their territory.
