Broward's Resilience Plan, Flood Control Upgrades & the Road to the Climate Compact

In this episode of Resilient Forward, the hosts sit down with Dr. Jennifer Jurado, Deputy Director and Chief Resilience Officer for Broward County, to talk through the county's newly completed resilience plan and the Section 203 study to upgrade the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control System. Jennifer breaks down how Broward put $5 million on the table to accelerate the federal study timeline, paving the way for five major pumps designed to tackle the county's flood control challenges head-on. The conversation also looks ahead to the Southeast Florida Climate Compact's 18th annual summit, taking place November 4–6 at the Broward County Convention Center, where Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties will come together around shared climate challenges, public-private partnerships, and emerging technologies.
