Workshop Description:

This workshop provides the basics on the use of solar energy in various disasters to supply energy needs for response, recovery and mitigation. The history and experiences of using various solar applications for the past 20 years in disasters will be presented. Solar thermal hot water, photovoltaics, solar cookers, water purification and other renewable energy applications will be presented, as well as conservation practices. This presentation gives an understanding into what you and your community can do about energy needs before and after a disaster and where to get help. The viability of various solar energy sources to satisfy energy needs will be reviewed. The benefit of solar energy for backup emergency power for buildings as a means of establishing disaster resistant buildings will be presented. You will learn how solar energy works and how to make it part of your disaster program
