Description
Rescheduled Public Meeting
When: Tuesday, March 17, 2015, 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Location: Kirsch Auditorium, Stata Center, 32 Vassar Street, MIT
The public meeting to present and discuss the interim results of the climate change vulnerability assessment, which was originally planned for February, has been rescheduled. The meeting will focus on the physical and social vulnerabilities identified by the assessment based on scenarios for inland flooding and increasing temperatures. Preliminary coastal storm surge modeling results for 2030 will also be presented. Coastal storm surge modeling with sea level rise for 2070 is in progress. The vulnerability assessment for storm surge risks will be completed in the spring.
The City would like to hear responses to the interim results and draft findings to inform the vulnerability assessment report, which will provide a basis for the forthcoming Climate Change Preparedness & Resilience Plan, and discuss the community's thoughts about the direction of the plan. The meeting is open to all. Please see the draft agenda here.
