"New FEMA Flood Maps, Sea-Level Rise and SANDY-type Storms: Why Should 
Falmouth Care?"

Presented by Jeff Williams, Scientist Emeritus at USGS

Thursday, May 15, 7:30 PM Morse Pond School Auditorium, 323 Jones Road, 
Falmouth, MA

Newly revised editions of flood-zone hazard maps have been issued by 
FEMA for Falmouth and for many other communities. Compelling news 
reaches us daily on the scientific evidence that the globe is warming 
and that impacts such as sea-level rise, catastrophic storms and 
unusually severe weather are increasing. Hurricane SANDY struck New 
Jersey and New York hard. Cape Cod dodged the bullet...but for how long?

These important topics will be presented by S. Jeffress Williams, a 
scientist and expert on coasts and climate change. The talk is sponsored 
by Falmouth's 300 Committee and the Falmouth Water Stewards (formerly 
FACES); it is free and open to the public. The venue is accessible for 
those with disabilities.
