Escambia County, in partnership with Jacobs Engineering, invites residents to the first public meeting for the Adaptation Planning Project Thursday, March 27 from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Brownsville Community Center, 3200 W. Desoto St. The meeting is open to anyone interested in learning more about future flood mitigation efforts and the potential impacts of flood events on the community.
During the meeting, attendees will hear from county staff and representatives from Jacobs Engineering and APTIM on the methodology and results of the countywide vulnerability assessment. Attendees will have the chance to provide input on results from the exposure and sensitivity analysis and participate in prioritizing assets for adaptation planning.
Anyone unable to attend in person can sign up here to receive a Teams link to join the meeting virtually. A link will be sent out the day of the meeting.
The Adaptation Planning Project is an initiative funded by the Resilient Florida Program aimed at safeguarding the unincorporated areas of Escambia County against environmental risks, including rising sea levels and flooding.
