Flooding is not just a coastal problem as inland flooding is becoming an increasingly common event. Our maps should be updated accordingly, and steps taken to address the issue.

[Bruce Mohl @BruceMohl]

New report indicates federal maps most Mass. homeowners use to see whether their home is vulnerable to flooding are inaccurate because they tend to focus on property along shorelines or waterways, when in fact inland flooding is becoming more prevalent. https://t.co/zXYptFUP6X

Accessing beaches in Massachusetts continues to prove difficult due to resident restrictions, parking costs, property lines, and funding. All community members should be able to access and enjoy our coasts. #accessibility #publicspace

At the conference “Keeping History Above Water” communities along the east coast discussed how to preserve historical sites threatened by extreme climate impacts. Groups are considering solutions like living shorelines to help mitigate effects.
