Are you a Zoomer? TIPs for Improving Communications When You Live in an On-line World

摘要

IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC, business as usual is no longer an option. That doesn’t mean work stops. The water sector is an essential public health function that cannot be safely paused. Water needs to reach taps and sewage must be treated. Climate change, flashy storms, atmospheric rivers, and sea level rise must be addressed. And now, even more than ever, communication and engagement, is crucial.

Today, in this time of social distancing and restricted travel, ready or not, many of us are already Zoomers. The discussion is not IF/WHY but instead WHAT and HOW.
