Context for Use
There are two instructional pathways you can choose from for the Expo sub-unit. You can either communicate existing plans (about 1 week of instructional time) or have students design their own resilience strategies (about 2-3 weeks of instructional time).

Description
The HEART Force Expo curriculum is built towards one question: “How can we help make our community stronger if we experience a [wildfire, drought, or flood]?” During this sub-unit, students can choose to develop a new strategy or project, or communicate existing ideas that have been developed in local resilience planning efforts.
