Coral reefs are susceptible to impacts from natural hazards such as hurricanes, and restoration of the damages is an important part of comprehensive recovery and mitigation planning for coastal communities after disaster. Join Eileen Alicea of NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation
Program, Michael Nemeth of NOAA's Restoration Center, and Autumn Lotze of NOAA's Disaster Preparedness Program to learn more about how NOAA engages with the federal disaster recovery process and works with communities to support natural resource recovery efforts after disaster, including highlights and lessons learned from ongoing coral reef restoration planning work in Puerto Rico.
