Help New England Prepare for Climate Impacts

It’s clearer than ever before that the impacts of climate change have hit New England – and it’s up to us to make sure we’re ready for the changes we know are coming.

One way to do that is to make sure our infrastructure is ready for the changes climate change is already bringing, like severe storms and increased flooding.

You can persuade your elected officials to take action now to protect our future: Tell your state representatives to invest in resilient infrastructure using the form below. Remember to personalize your message to help it stand out.

Some measures I support include: 

- Making potential home-buyers aware of the flood risks associated properties before they buy. 
- Ensuring that our building codes account for climate impacts like floods and severe storms. 
- Creating better flood risk maps that fully consider the quickly changing climate and impacts like severe storms and increased flooding. 
- Providing funding for resilience initiatives in New England cities and towns. 
- Fortifying our electric grid so that it can withstand severe storms and floods without passing along costs to electricity customers. 
- Restoring and installing critical green infrastructure to help us be more resilient to floods and heat, like urban tree canopies, wetlands, rain gardens, and more. 
- Considering voluntary buyout programs which would allow people living in high flood risk areas to receive state money for their property if they choose to relocate. 

Can you commit to making these measures reality through law and policy before it’s too late? 

Thank you for all that you do,
