Notas del editor
We have all seen pictures from Hurricane Katrina and Super Storm Sandy and polar bears stranded on melting glaciers, and heard researchers debate the science behind our changing climate
But today, I am not here to instill doom and gloom by showing pictures of the Cape underwater or provide my thoughts on sea level rise. Rather, my goal is to talk about the need to integrate resiliency into the municipal decision making process and make smart investment decisions.
Everyone is talking about resilience. Some are even calling it the latest fad like sustainability was previously.
Stress interdependencies and systems that make a community operate
Commitment to make your community stronger.
Process that defines, identifies, prioritizes and leads to a collective decision making process on strategic solutions
Bite off a reasonable amount
Bridges and culverts, or get traction behind what people value such as clean drinking water
Flooding or flooding and ice storms
Send clear and hopeful message
Property Protection - Modify, remove or relocate existing facilities or infrastructure
New Structures - Culverts, seawalls and flood walls
Green Infrastructure - Natural shoreline stabilization or marsh enhancement
Hybrid Designs
Need to understand:
Construction cost
Land acquisition
Permitting requirements
Timelines
Don’t rely on minimum standards and require cost benefit analysis of designing to higher standards of safety
Operational and emergency response plans
Systematically address deficiencies
Towns can’t afford all this risk and mitigation, crumbling roads and failing culverts. Better to spend extra money now than incur both hard cost of infrastructure rebuilding as well as the operations and economic losses post-disaster.
General taxation
Targeted taxation (special assessments or benefit districts for specific projects)
Local use fees and rate structures dedicated to specific purpose
15 projects, 5 were in Barnstable County
FY 15- Sandwich(beach nourishment) and Provincetown (inundation mapping)
Majority for beach restoration and dune nourishment, final design and permitting, vulnerability assessment
20% local match
Bite of a manageable piece which is flooding specific
Unique aspects were our team members where we are teamed with WPI students.
Emergency generator, battery storage, PV systems and microgrids
Shelters
Water and wastewater facilities
Police/Fire
Barnstable and Dennis-Yarmouth HS Regional Shelter
Build upon synergy of rebuilding porcess to implement long term solutions
