Resilience & Vulnerability

Resilience & Vulnerability
 
Goals and actions in the Resilience & Vulnerability focus area help to prepare the community for climate-driven emergencies through critical infrastructure improvements and strengthened natural and social systems.
 
Taking Action
We are working with the Swampscott Conservation Commission to create a floodplain brochure for homeowners dealing with coastal erosion.
Swampscott received a grant to update the Town’s Hazard Mitigation Plan, which would include recommendations from the Coastal Climate Change Study and other Climate mitigation tactics.
