Climate change is making our storms bigger, our summers hotter, our winter weather more unpredictable, and our rainfall patterns swing wildly from flash flooding to flash droughts. Over time, we will need to manage increasing challenges such as higher ocean and groundwater levels and more wind, fire, and drought.
