We are looking for fresh takes on how to convince people (especially in coastal areas) to get flood insurance, using things like games, video, photos, social media strategy, and other marketing tools. Join us for a full day creative intensive, where you can work with others in your field alongside floodplain managers, emergency professionals, and professional communicators to get things done and have fun in the process! All skill levels and backgrounds are welcome,you don’t need to be a coder to participate in this Hackathon! Just bring a laptop! FAQs What's in it for me? Snacks, lunch, bragging rights and admiration! Winners chosen at the end will recieve formal recognition. What can I expect at the event? Participants are going to get the problem statement, hear some background and context on flood insurance and flood risk from subject matter experts, form groups based on skillsets, and create products to solve the issue. Each group will be able to call on subject matter experts or a facilitator at any point. In the evening, groups will present their products, talk about distribution, and winners will be chosen.
