Planning Ahead:
Cities Must Develop Strategies to Mitigate the Impacts of Sea Level Rise

Woolpert Project Manager and Engineer Crystal Muller and Woolpert Engineer Kaitlin Mahoney published an article in Earth.Org explaining how coastal cities can mitigate the effects of sea level rise by understanding the threat, its ramifications, and the assets most at risk.

“Municipalities and many city departments, including stormwater, public works, floodplain, administration, and safety, can do their due diligence to see how much sea level rise may impact their community, residents, businesses, and infrastructure,” said Hal Clarkson, program director at Woolpert.

The article has been shared on Earth.Org’s website at Planning Ahead: Cities Must Develop Strategies to Mitigate the Impacts of Sea Level Rise.
