Two Fellowships At Mobile Office Of Resilience, Sustainability
The City of Mobile Office of Resilience and Sustainability has announced two new fellowships intended to help the city improve energy efficiency and better prepare for future disasters. With support from federal and private grants, Timothy Lett will serve as a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) fellow, and Madeleine Dotson will serve as SBP’s resilience and recovery fellow. Lett is joining the department’s Community Energy Fellowship Program. He will manage a DOE-funded energy audit and oversee the development of an energy conservation plan for all city buildings and facilities. He will also collaborate with various city departments on specific energy-efficiency upgrades at older facilities. These efforts will help pinpoint which facilities use the most energy and help leaders prioritize upgrades to maximize energy efficiency and reduce utility costs. Dotson’s appointment is part of a two-year fellowship supported by the Walmart Foundation. She will focus on identifying funding opportunities to support the city’s disaster preparedness and future resilience and recovery initiatives. She will work closely with local partners and community groups to enhance Mobile’s response capabilities and help develop a comprehensive disaster recovery plan for the city.
