Aspect is looking forward to discussing key stormwater management issues at this year’s Municipal Stormwater Conference April 5-8, 2021. Please join us in four (virtual) sessions where our stormwater team helps lead the discussion of the future of stormwater management in the Pacific Northwest. The first two Aspect presentations are summarized here:

Join Emelie Crumbaker, Senior GIS Analyst, as she discusses the appeal of story maps –with an example from the City of SeaTac and in two compelling interviews with WA Dept. of Ecology on their Stormwater Action Monitoring and nitrogen loading story maps.
The discussion covers visual storytelling and what public outreach audiences look for from science communication.
