A public meeting to discuss interim results of Cambridge Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment will be held Tuesday, Mar. 17,6-8:30 p.m., at the Stata Center, Kirsch Auditorium, MIT Building 32, 32 Vassar St., Cambridge.
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.
