Creating an Oral History of the Ice Storm

Stuff We Love

As we approach the one-year mark from the devastating March 2025 ice storm, Groundwork Center and the Climate Action Campaign are inviting the public to come and share their stories. The Extreme Weather People’s Hearing will include live, in-person storytellers, and the organizers are asking for “residents, farmers, small business owners, first responders, and local leaders to share brief, first-person stories about how the ice storm affected their lives and communities” with the intention to “elevate ongoing recovery challenges and push leaders to address disaster preparedness, grid reliability, and climate resilience.” If you have a story to share, head to facebook.com/groundworkcenter, where Groundwork has posted a sign-up document. Want to listen to the stories? The event will be held on Feb. 26 from 6-8pm at Treetops Resort in Gaylord. Learn more at mobilize.us/mobilize/event/887955.
