Yesterday our Mean Green Resilience Team participated in the Resiliency Games, hosted by the Association of Continuity Professionals- North Texas Chapter. Our friends over in UNT Emergency Management let us use their EOC for this event.

Our students did an outstanding job navigating the various challenges posed to their "company" and they demonstrated quick thinking, teamwork, and leadership. Way to go, team! 💚🦅💚🦅

Yesterday's adventure in Portugal included a visit to the Lisbon Quake Museum, where we learned about the 1755 earthquake. While there, we visited rooms that simulate the ground shaking of the earthquake and we learned about the response and recovery plans that were implemented in the aftermath of this disaster.

Later in the day, we took a guided tour of Belem and visited the Belem Tower.

And today, we met with members of the US Embassy in Lisbon to learn about how they protect citizens abroad and their strategies for communicating with the public. It was an amazing and engaging talk.

It's been a wonderful study abroad experience!

I can't think of a better way to end our week in Barcelona than to combine emergency management and futbol ⚽.

We started the day with an amazing tour of the Directorate General for Civil Protection's Emergency Operations Center. From there we visited the Spotify Camp Nou Stadium, which is home to FC Barcelona.

What another great day studying in Spain! Today we visited the Office of Civil Protection, which oversees emergency management activities in the region of Catalonia. We learned a lot about wildfire mitigation and how emergency management is structured in the region.

The past two days, we have also received great lectures and city tours by Dr. Francesc Munoz, a professor of Urban Geography at Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona. Today we learned about some of the climate adaptation strategies implemented in Barcelona to mitigate the effects of high heat and flooding. It was an amazing tour.
