The document discusses the impact of climate change on urban areas, particularly focusing on Boston's vulnerability to flooding due to rising sea levels and storm surges. It emphasizes the need for adaptation strategies to mitigate damage and enhance resilience in communities at risk. Several case studies highlight structural vulnerabilities and recommend solutions for building modifications and community planning to address these challenges.

- 13. WHAT WE KNOW: Atthe projected 2100 sea-level rise, these neighborhoods will be vulnerable to regular flooding first, due to topographical data and a projected rise of 3 to 6 feet. This is similar to the projections of storm- surge levels for the next 35 years. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR RESIDENTS: This means that residents and home-owners along the Greenway corridor, need to prepare for minimizing personal and property damage due to rising probability of flooding of their streets, basements, and 2050 SEA LEVEL RISE + STORM SURGE 2100 SEA LEVEL RISE + STORM SURGE
