START WITH ASSESSING THE RISK TO YOUR OWN PROPERTY/COMMUNITY
“We are saying ‘don’t worry about 2100, this is happening now,’” said First Street Foundation’s Jeremy Porter.
“There are historic signals now: tidal flooding and
100-year storms are happening more frequently, there’s more water in the
streets and property values aren’t appreciating in some flood-prone areas.”
Porter is aware that climate science, predictions of doom and the high cost of addressing it can tempt many to bury their head in the sand.
So, First Street and its
partnerships aim to make science more accessible and digestible.
