The event takes place at Harwood Union High School Cafeteria this Thursday, September 22, at 7 p.m. from 7 to 9 p.m.

It is important that people understand the steps they can take to make their home safe, healthy and energy-efficient as they rebuild. This workshop will include information about dealing with drying walls and basements, addressing mold and improving building and systems efficiency while rebuilding.

The hour-long presentation will be followed by an open Q&A. Organizers will have some technical folks available to talk about moisture and mold, electrical and heating systems. There will be additional information that people can take away with them and a list of places folks can call for further information. In addition, Efficiency Vermont will be providing information on their special flood-relief assessment and air-sealing program.

If, after this workshop, people wish to learn hands-on techniques for making energy efficiency improvements in their own homes (the Do-It-Yourself approach), hands-on workshops teaching necessary skills—the Weatherization Skillshops—will be held around the state this fall, beginning in Essex on October 1. www.weatherizationskillshop.com.
