Building a Flood Smart Seacoast
SHEA’s “Flood Smart” program consists of two components:
The “Building a Flood Smart Seacoast” workshop series was developed in partnership with the New Hampshire Departments of Environmental Services Coastal Program. Its focus was to provide a broad range of information about various aspects of the impacts of coastal flooding on properties and structures. The goal of the workshops was to inform property owners and town officials, and to help those affected property owners make better-informed decisions about how to make their property more flood resilient.
The Flood Smart Roundtable was an ongoing series of informal discussions with coastal property owners and residents on a wide range of topics related to the causes and impacts of coastal flooding from sea level rise and storm surges.
