Description
This Report identifies the principal climate change issues as identified by this municipality, and why it is important for local units to be able to more adequately respond to these issues in the future. The implications of coastal flooding and storm surges may be seen as the most readily identifiable: through ACAS research (identified in section 3) this municipality has now become more cognizant of where, and to what degree, particular infrastructure or communities within our municipality may be at greater risk to coastal flooding issues exacerbated by anticipated sea level rise.
