Community Forum #2 for the Resilient Rhody 2025 Statewide Coastal Resilience Plan | Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management

You're invited to join the Community Forum #02 for the Resilient Rhody 2025 Statewide Coastal Resilience Plan

Rhode Island’s Climate Resilience Asset Exposure and Prioritization

This initiative is the state’s first comprehensive coastal resilience study, and the plan will propose state resilience actions, assess community vulnerabilities, recommend adaptation strategies along ocean and riverine coasts, and identify financing pathways to implement resiliency strategies. This is your opportunity to help shape how Rhode Island responds to the challenges of sea level rise, extreme weather, and climate change — and to share your ideas for building a more resilient future.

The second forum will focus on asset exposure and prioritization and will include interactive engagement opportunities to share your experiences. Hearing from local communities across Rhode Island is a vital part of this process and plan. We hope you’ll join us and lend your voice to this important work.

Getting there: From Kennedy Plaza, take the 35 or 78 bus from Kennedy Plaza, get off at Taunton opposite James, then walk across the City Hall plaza to Grove Ave. A free parking lot is accessible from Orchard Street behind the library.

Refreshments will be provided.
Translation services will be provided for Spanish and Portuguese.
This forum will include a brief presentation, small group discussions, and opportunities to share your experiences and priorities.

Virtual meeting link to follow via email.

We hope you'll join us and lend your voice to this important work.
