Web Skills & Platforms for Planners

As planners increasingly embrace digital tools, understanding the workings behind the web has become crucial. Just as “Code is the new concrete,” planners who understand the “infrastructure” of websites can more effectively engage with digital platforms to serve their communities. This webinar, Planning Webcast: Web Skills for Planners, will provide an essential foundation in web skills, equipping participants to evaluate, design, deploy, and maintain websites. Participants will gain insights into everything from user-friendly design principles to back-end fundamentals, collaboration with web developers , or key no-code platforms. The session will also highlight web tools like Google Sites, Wix, and AI-driven resources that simplify coding and optimize functionality. With knowledge of these tools, planners can confidently navigate and harness the potential of web technology to enhance their planning efforts. A Q&A will follow. The goal of this webinar is to equip planners with essential web skills and knowledge, enabling them to effectively evaluate, design, deploy, and maintain websites. Participants will also learn how to collaborate with web developers and utilize online tools to enhance their planning efforts through websites.

Flint Water Crisis Deep-Dive: Lessons Learned. Presented by EPA’s Former Flint Emergency Coordinator

This drinking water training is presented by the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) former Flint Safe Drinking Water Act Emergency Coordinator.

The coordinator worked with the City of Flint, Flint’s public water system, & the state of Michigan to ensure compliance with EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Act & EPA’s drinking water enforcement authorities.

This online drinking water training will provide you with a fundamental understanding of underlying regulatory and technical decisions that led to Flint’s disaster.
