Editor's Notes
- #3 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.
- #9 Resileince costs four times less than mitigation, therefore it important for us to look for ways to be resilient
- #10 Its not just homes – also coastal landforms that are also vulnerable they protect infrastructure
- #11 Its important for us to be resilient because we have a lot of coastal homes at risk to flooding
- #12 History of damage from natural hazards
- #13 Its not just homes – also coastal landforms that are also vulnerable they protect infrastructure
- #14 We are already seeing long term damages from flooding and erosion Truro
- #16 CREATED A TOOL TO TRACK THIS HISTORIC CHANGE
- #17 Exposure assessments We have a SLR tool – so many of these tool - 105
