Hey, we launched a new climate change adaptation site on the StormSmart Network. Case studies? Yes. Media room? That, too. More? You bet. Have a look!

Hi Wesley,

Good material, particularly the list of “case studies” and project list along the coast!

For more background on Portland high water levels…[Read more]
