NEPA to spotlight disaster-resilient communities on World Town Planning Day
As Jamaica continues its recovery from the impact of Hurricane Melissa, the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) will use its observance of World Town Planning Day on November 8 to focus national attention on building disaster-resilient communities. Under the theme, ‘From Recovery to Resilience: Planning for a Stronger Jamaica’, the agency will host a national forum and conduct school outreach activities to highlight the role of effective town and country planning in advancing sustainable development and building resilience.
