SHARE YOUR THOUGHTSCharles River Flood Model Public Feedback TAKE THE SURVEY: What do you think? What is your top concern about how climate change will effect you, your family, and your community? Are you concerned about the potential impacts of flooding from climate change? Do you think your city/town and/or the state are doing enough to plan for climate change? Provide details. Which of these nature-based solutions would you like to see in your community? Wetland Restoration Land Conservation Less Paved Surfaces/Impervious Cover Dam Removal More Green Stormwater Infrastructure (Rain Gardens, Tree Trenches, etc.) Less Development in Flood-Prone Areas Increase Tree Canopy Floodable Parks/Open Spaces Large Scale Flood Storage - Wetlands, Infiltration, Ponds Other Which nature-based solutions do you think would be possible in your community? Wetland Restoration Land Conservation Less Paved Surfaces/Impervious Cover Dam Removal More Green Stormwater Infrastructure Less Development in Flood-Prone Areas Increase in Tree Canopy Floodable Parks/Open Spaces Large Scale Storage - Wetland, Pond, Undergound Other Do you have any concerns about changes nature-based solutions could bring to your community? What is most important to you in prioritizing on-the-ground flood mitigation projects? Ability to build quickly Ability to protect downstream property Ability to protect Environmental Justice neighborhoods Ability to protect critical facilities - police, fire, schools, emergency shelters Provides recreational opportunities Provides habitat + connectivity Accessible to large number of people Favorable cost/benefit ratio Other What do you think are the most important impacts of flood mitigation projects? Prevents flooding of buildings Prevents flooding of roadways Prevents flooding of major roadways Prevents flooding of infrastructure - roads, buildings, parking lots, etc. Prevents flooding of critical infrastructure - hospitals, schools, fire, etc. Flooding today do not get any worse into the future Prevents flooding in Environmental Justice neighborhoods (or other areas with climate vulnerable residents) Prevents flooding impacts to buildings and roadways in residential areas Prevents any flooding at all outside of river, lake and wetland boundaries Prevents flooding above a certain depth (i.e. 1 ft) outside of river, lake and wetland boundaries Other Are you aware of any flood mitigation projects being planned in your community, either by the municipality or by residents/neighborhood groups? How can planning efforts focused on adapting to climate change be made more accessible to you or members of the public who you think might be interested in learning more in the future?
