Planning for climate change is planning for tomorrow.

Millions of visitor's flock to Newport every year to see our beautiful coastline. These visitors enjoy the coastline without knowing the dangers it is facing:

 

• Rising sea levels - Improper planning and accommodation for rising sea levels will result in crippling damages.

• Increased sun exposure - Creating landscapes and structures that are built for more sun are imperative.

• Stronger storms - Coastal storms can be paralyzing. Proper planning is necessary.

• 12 feet higher - FEMA maps show "The Point" neighborhood is likely to rise to 12 feet of water during hurricanes and other storm surges
