🏞️⛈️🔥 With our changing climate comes increased risk of wildfires, drought, and other climate change-driven hazards. In December, Colorado released a first-of-its-kind Climate Preparedness Roadmap to understand the unique ways Coloradans may experience climate change and to better prepare for climate risks. The Roadmap was developed by the Governor’s Office of Climate Preparedness and Disaster Recovery and builds on 15 years of state climate analysis and planning. 🔗 Learn more about how Colorado is taking action to secure our net-zero future: https://lnkd.in/ezd5wqXr

What's new with Resilient Land And Water? From our climate resilience side: We are happy to report that the Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) for the Mohegan Tribe was filed earlier this month. Did you know that EPA is providing links to all PCAPs on its web site? Your Earth Day homework assignment is to read the PCAP covering the place that you live. https://lnkd.in/egnsZKuU From our water resources planning and management side: We are busy with a safe yield evaluation for a surface water system. Here's an Earth Day question for everyone to ponder: do you believe that increasing fall/winter/spring precipitation (interspersed with flashy droughts every 2-3 years) will cause safe yield to increase or decrease?

A thoughtful report in the Boston Globe Media about the climate change challenge unique to the City of Boston is well worth your time. Some related irrefutable facts and a call for action here. #climatechange #climateresilience #naturebasedresiliencesolutions #timekeepsonslippin

Today is the day!! If you are interested in extreme precipitation and how stormwater managers can adapt their systems to mitigate flooding, I hope you will tune in to hear what we learned through this research project!

Tomorrow, the TRC Climate Resilience Center's Dr. Rawlings Miller is hosting a free webinar on choosing climate assessments that match the right level of decision making. The focus is on communities, utilities, and transportation practitioners, but we welcome all who are interested in this important topic. There are still a few spots left to register: https://lnkd.in/e8KnxYG7

Some awesome work done by our team for PSEG Long Island. If you're interested in the intersection of climate and energy utilities definitely check it out! I also made a lot of the exposure section maps, so if you've ever wanted to know more about what I do day-to-day, here's a little snapshot :)

The urgency of the climate crisis demands that we use every available tool in our toolbox—and that we wield them skillfully. Using the newly released paper “Principles of Natural Climate Solutions,” we’re breaking down the definition of each principle to showcase how the Family Forest Carbon Program (FFCP) can be considered an exemplar in carbon project development: https://lnkd.in/eMTbxv8W

Join us this Thursday at 11 AM for a webinar on our new report, Climate Resilient Galveston! Learn more about the climate risks facing the Island, from sea level rise to hurricanes, and how nature based solutions can protect communities and ecosystems in the future. Registration is open: https://lnkd.in/gQATWgg6

Join me in the Substack Space as we talk about FEMAs new Climate Adaptation and Hazard Mitigation Certificate Program, and my deep dive into Climate Catastrophe literature this month!
