EBC Connecticut Chapter Program: Extreme Weather & Climate Change - Recovering from the Past and Preparing for the Future
Wednesday, September 25 - 7:30 AM - 12:00PM
Recent events such as Hurricane Sandy highlight the need for including climate change adaptation when recovering from and planning for extreme weather events. As sea levels rise, even relatively minor storms may cause significant damages as higher sea levels allow storm surge and waves to propagate further inland. In addition to predicted sea level rise, the IPCC predicts an increase in hurricane intensity under 21st century warming scenarios, and thus an increase in the frequency of the most intense storms. The first annual EBC Connecticut Chapter program on extreme weather and climate change will provide overviews of recovery and resiliency efforts from municipal and state officials as well as the private sector.
