My question is about designing resilient infrastructure in coastal communities. There is a lot of inflammatory language out there about climate change, sea level rise, ocean acidification, and so on; but I am of the mindset that we should start doing something about these issues in local communities. I would like to know what specific designs and technologies are available to start building resilient infrastructure at the local level. How do you build a resilient road? How far do you elevate a ferry terminal? What is the best and most efficient way to reduce coastal erosion? How do you elevate a rotary?

The City of Norfolk would like to strengthen its understanding of resilient coastal development given rising sea levels and increased coastal flooding. Norfolk is currently undertaking a 3-year project to update its zoning ordinance, an activity that occurs every 20 years. One of the themes of the zoning ordinance rewrite is that it focuses extensively on resilience. Given this background, our climate resilience question is: How does a resilient zoning code in coastal communities facing increased coastal flooding and rising sea levels look like? What are strategies and tools to incorporate into the revised zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan to encourage resilient development through land use regulation in the future?
My second question is three-fold: Are there ways to incentivize good land use practices (open space for water management, etc.)? What are the
motivators that drive public-private action to produce a more progressive product? Are there ways to monetize public good uses? Are there examples of land-swap, tax
incentives, insurance products, etc. that provide owners value for using land resiliently in face of increasing flooding and sea levels?

We are knee-deep in producing a Disaster Response Plan for the three watersheds that directly affect the Wells Reserve. What information can the tool provide to help us identify the most prominent threats to those areas and how can we help ensure that the water quality and natural habitats remain or return to their natural states after an event.

I would like to know how river communities can protect themselves from increased and more severe flooding. I'm also curious if current building codes sufficiently prepare for projected future flood risk.

All of Connecticut's coastal communities need resilience planning and many of them have taken on this task with volunteer committees focused on one topic such as sea level rise and flooding issues. How can we best assist them to work with neighboring towns and direct them to funding resources.

I would like to know how we can work to incorporate heat threats and other non-flooding threats into climate resilience planning. Some of the communities I work with are primarily concerned with addressing heatwaves and urban heat island but we're finding it challenging to figure out the best approach to assessing these vulnerabilities.
