About Event

🌎 Resilience in Practice: A Virtual Gathering on Climate Readiness & Community Care 🌎

Calling all King County residents to a virtual panel with local climate resilience leaders!

How do we prepare for the crises we can’t predict—and care for one another when systems fail?

Join Basilica Bio for Resilience in Practice, a virtual evening of conversation, learning, and collaboration featuring local experts, community organizers, and climate storytellers. Together, we’ll explore how to build community resilience that’s rooted in equity, preparedness, and collective care.

Through a mix of panel discussions, resource sharing, and audience participation, attendees will gain tangible tools to strengthen local networks, create neighborhood emergency plans, and connect with Seattle’s growing network of resilience hubs.

✨ Featuring:
🌿 Dr. Jessica Hernandez, Author of Fresh Banana Leaves and Growing Papaya Trees, Researcher at UW
🏛 Emily O’Donnell-Pazderk, MPH, MA, Emergency Management Program Specialist - Community Resilience + Recovery at Washington State Department of Health
🌇 Jimmy Kralj, Climate Resilience Strategy Planner at the Washington State Department of Ecology
🌊 Robin Schwartz, Advocacy and Community Resilience Manager at Duwamish River Community Coalition
🔬Cat Hartwell, MPH, Assistant Director of Strategic Engagement for the Center for Disaster Resilient Communities

📅 Thursday, December 11, 2025 | 6:00-8:30 PM PST
💻 Virtual (Zoom link provided upon signup)
💚 Free and open to all

Every attendee will receive access to Basilica Bio’s virtual Resilience in Practice Toolkit — and two participants will win fully stocked go-bags in our post-event raffle!

Because climate readiness starts in community — and resilience is something we practice together.

We can't wait to see you on December 11th, and we hope that you can make it! This event is the second event of three that Basilica Bio is hosting in support of the Office of Sustainability and Environment's Climate Readiness Initiative. Basilica Bio is working at the intersections of environmental justice, climate resilience, and joyful world making.

Sincerely yours,

Quinn & Carolyn, Outreach Coordinators for Basilica Bio
