In the wake of destructive storms we’ve recently experienced, this month’s meet-up will provide an opportunity to talk about the impacts of extreme weather on historic buildings. We will be joined by Anastasia Azenaro-Moore, an Environmental Protection Specialist with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). As a preservationist, Anastasia works with the National Historic Preservation Act to ensure historic resources are identified and considered as part of hazard mitigation projects throughout New England. She has been working in the field with FEMA for seven years at the regional and national level, including work in Puerto Rico and South Carolina. Anastasia will be ready to answer your questions about the impacts of extreme weather on historic resources and how communities across New England are preparing and adapting. She has also been out in the field for the past two weeks assessing storm damage in Maine. Anastasia is a former staff member and current Trustee of Maine Preservation, who resides in Eliot.
