| | | CAF14-104 | | Interactive Mapping Tools for Engaging the Community in Local Adaptation Efforts Speakers: Charlie Knox, AICP, Principal, PlaceWorks; Breece Robertson, National GIS Director, Trust for Public Land; Amy Anderson, Director of Planning Services, Placeways LLC; MODERATOR: Robert Matthews, Goedesign Practice Manager, Esri, Inc. Meeting climate adaptation challenge must occur at the local level. Many of the planning approaches for adaption require using geospatial analyses and tools. Through this session attendees will learn about multiple GIS tools for modeling and visualizing the impacts of a changing climate on ecosystems and human infrastructure, improving decision making and engaging the public in adaptation planning and monitoring. Among the uses of GIS discussed are spatial assessment of sustainability programs such low impact development landscaping, active use of rooftops for energy and food production, the interactive engagement of the community in assessing adaption implications, conservation planning tools that provide a vision for urban resilience, and geoplanning tools to create, analyze and report on alternative planning scenarios At the conclusion of the session, attendees have a better understanding of the variety of tools and information available to them and how those resources might be used to address their local climate-change adaptation needs. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
| | | CAF14-101 | | Finding Common Ground: Integrating Nature, Infrastructure and People into Sea-Level Rise Planning Speakers: Kelsey Ducklow, NOAA Coastal Fellow, California Coastal Commission; Juliette Hayes, Acting Hazard Mitigation Assistance Branch Chief, FEMA Region IX; Sascha Petersen, Managing Director, American Society of Adaptation Professionals; Jack Liebster, Planning Manager, Marin County CDA; Danielle Boudreau, Coastal Training Program Associate, Tijuana River National Estuarine Research - MODERATOR: Mary Matella, California Sea Grant State Fellow, California Coastal Commission Planning for sea-level rise opens up new opportunities for coordination between FEMA, the California Coastal Commission and local communities. This hands-on session gives participants the chance to use real-world examples from county, natural resource agency and tribal perspectives to explore those opportunities. As sea-level rises and more frequent or severe storms threaten coastal regions, communities will face the need for emergency services, response and recovery capacity, as well as adaptation measures to protect coastal resources, including habitats, public access and recreational opportunities. This session introduces planning for sea-level rise from a multi-hazards (FEMA) and coastal resource vulnerability (Coastal Commission) perspective. Then, using a roundtable workshop format, attendees apply those frameworks in interactive case studies focused on the Tijuana River Valley, Marin County and Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe. Breakout groups report key findings and lessons learned. So roll up your sleeves and dive into building coastal resilience!
