SUMMARY:Online - Hill Country Eclipse Lunch & Learn Series - General Q&A
DESCRIPTION:During the last total solar eclipse event in the U.S.\, back in 2017\, many rural communities in its path were overwhelmed by the crowds and the challenges they created for local infrastructure\, emergency services\, lodging and restaurants\, and supermarkets. However\, the communities that fared the best were those that started preparing years in advance. On October 14 of this year and April 8 of 2024\, the annular and total solar eclipses will pass through the middle of the Hill Country\, affecting all our communities. \nFor the past two and a half years\, the Hill Country Alliance has been convening quarterly round table meetings of the Hill Country Eclipse Team. These meetings are opportunities for residents\, eclipse enthusiasts\, business owners\, and community leaders to share regional planning updates. The meetings have included presentations by subject matter experts on related topics. \nThe Hill Country Eclipse Lunch and Learn sessions are an opportunity to discuss individual niche topics specific to eclipse planning and preparations. Topics will include everything from accessibility and community preparation to public relations and security. \nThe Eclipse Lunch & Learn Sessions take place on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month via Zoom from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. CST.\nRegister here for the complete series and attend the sessions at your leisure. Each Lunch and Learn will be recorded and posted to the HCA Eclipse Portal. \nThis session is an open forum opportunity to ask questions\, recommendations on future round table meeting topics\, and subject matter discussions for future Lunch and Learns.
