Storm Response and Preparedness in Working Waterfront Communities

Join us for vital community conversations to enhance our response, preparedness and resilience in the face of increasing storm events. 

REGISTRATION

Ten community convenings are happening this fall and early winter throughout Maine coastal and working waterfront communities to explore how we can better respond to and prepare for future storms like the ones that hit us last January. Each convening is being organized collaboratively with local leaders and contacts, and we are grateful for their help!

The goals of this effort are to:

• Create space for community members across diverse sectors to take stock of their working waterfronts within the context of the community’s resilience since the storms. 

• Share resilience and working waterfront planning work across the region: recent, underway, or planned.  

• Learn about resources for public and private working waterfront resilience.

• Identify systems and networks that would be useful to have in place locally to support working waterfronts in anticipation of future storms.
