Climate Change Planning for Vulnerable Neighborhoods

In this session, the speakers will introduce a county-wide climate change vulnerability assessment as well as other hazard mitigation-related projects undertaken by the Montgomery County Planning Commission. In 2020-2021, the county utilized free public information on (A) historical flooding and flood-prone areas, (B) historically heat sensitive areas, and (C) disadvantaged populations in order to identify neighborhoods which will likely face increased challenges due to climate change. To ensure regional consistency, Montgomery County completed this study with assistance from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission as they worked on a complementary regional heat island project. 

CM credit (Sustainability & Resilience) is pending approval. Deadline to register is February 1, 2022
