We are in Orlando today with PI @BallerKS from @UCF. UCF and their partners are building a mobile resiliency hub. This will provide power, WiFi and food after a climate event — all managed by the City once it’s built. Amazing @NSFCIVIC work.

[UCF School of Public Administration @spaucf]

Ready for fall classes! Our team of expert faculty and amazing staff are prepared to #ChargeOn and make this school year unforgettable. Who’s with us? 🎒😎

My annual downer post about air quality on the Fourth of July. Current PM2.5 readings in Orlando via @UCF and @citybeautiful STAIR network: https://t.co/Vm1YkH33so. Lots of unhealthy, very unhealthy, and some hazardous readings out there.

It’s done! Another great @ASPANational conference! Excellent @ASPASSTIG panels and connections. Join @ASPASSTIG next week for our board meeting on Wednesday.

It's not too late to show your love for #KnightNation at the @ASPANational conference! We have four more presentations taking place today by UCF faculty and students. #ASPA2024

I am thrilled of @spaucf continued recognition in @usnews rankings. SPA has the #1 ranked Emergency Management program in the country. This could not be possible without the hard work of our faculty, staff, and advisory board. @DrEcoclaire @UCFCCIE @UCF

Very excited to be leading this team and making progress on our @NSFCIVIC (thanks to @NSF and @ENERGY) Stage 2 award. We have vendors lined up and finalizing the design as we begin building our mobile resilience hub to improve equitable resilience here in @citybeautiful.

[UCFCCIE @UCFCCIE]

A team of @UCF researchers, led by @spaucf's Kelly Stevens, has spent the past year conceptualizing what a mobile resilience hub that provides critical services in the wake of a disaster would look like. Now, they're ready to put their ideas into action.
