Editor's Notes
- Introduce the cape to you from space because from this view, it is really easy to appreciate the cape as a peninsula that sticks out in to the middle of the Atlantic ocean. We are unique compared to other counties across the commonwealth because all 15 towns have a coast line.
- Resileince costs four times less than mitigation, therefore it important for us to look for ways to be resilient
- Its not just homes – also coastal landforms that are also vulnerable they protect infrastructure
- Its important for us to be resilient because we have a lot of coastal homes at risk to flooding
- History of damage from natural hazards
- Its not just homes – also coastal landforms that are also vulnerable they protect infrastructure
- We are already seeing long term damages from flooding and erosion Truro
- CREATED A TOOL TO TRACK THIS HISTORIC CHANGE
- Exposure assessments We have a SLR tool – so many of these tool - 105
