Urban Resilience
As severe weather events become more frequent, Norwalk’s stormwater and climate change infrastructure needs to be prepared to handle surges in water and instances of flooding. In addition to lowering our carbon footprint, short-term infrastructure investments can also play an important role in mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Green Infrastructure, Sustainability & Resilience
Prepare Coastal Resilience Plan & Design Guidelines
Prepare a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan. The plan should analyze the city’s exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity to climate change in terms of climate risks to social systems, infrastructure and natural resources, and provide recommendations on how to improve resilience.
