| | | 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!
