[SEMCO] Coastal Hazards Commission Public Forums

Coastal Hazards Commission Public Forums

May 22-31, 2006

 

 

Purpose

The Coastal Hazards Commission is hosting public forums to solicit input 
on local storm damage and erosion issues, concerns, and potential 
solutions. 

 

Format

The chair of the public forum will provide an overview of the Coastal 
Hazards Commission and then ask for responses to the questions listed 
below as well as general comments.  Interested persons may also submit 
written comments to Julia.Knisel at state.ma.us 
<mailto:Julia.Knisel at state.ma.us>.  All comments will be summarized by 
CZM staff and presented to the Coastal Hazards Commission at their next 
meeting on June 12.

 

Questions

1.      Are you aware of your vulnerability to coastal hazards, such as 
flooding and erosion?  If so, how were you informed?  If not, where 
would you look for information? 

 

2.      Have you taken action to minimize the risk of damage to your 
home during storms?

 

3.      Given that flooding and erosion are issues in MA, what do you 
feel are the best management approaches?

 

4.      Have you been involved in the development of any local plans 
designed to manage coastal hazards, such as hazard mitigation or beach 
management plans?

 

5.      Would you recommend other successful shoreline management 
techniques that MA should consider?
