MPPDC staff will continue educational outreach to the general public and to elected officials about climate change and sea level rise. To encourage Middle Peninsula member localities to consider the development of public policy to respond to climate change and sea level rise impacts, MPPDC staff will also create a “START” (Start Adaptation and Response Today) kit which will comprehensively assemble, present, and customize relevant (1) local scientific data, (2) Kaiser- Permanente Natural Hazard Vulnerability Assessment Tool results for the Middle Peninsula, (3) local, state, national and international case studies as well as (4) sample ordinances from communities (nationwide and internationally) that have adopted adaption policies.
Phase 3 -“Start Kit” Draft report coming soon
