Coastal Resiliency Action Plan
This project is designed to assist the community of New Castle, Delaware in their efforts to protect the City from the impacts of climate change and sea level rise. Currently the community experiences a number of coastal related problems including nuisance flooding of streets resulting in road closures, storm damage and erosion of dikes; and periodic property flooding.
Before the community can develop strategies to mitigate against coastal hazards, they must first identify the risks and determine their vulnerability to the impacts of those hazards. Through this project, the DCMP will assist the community to conduct a vulnerability assessment and develop a coastal resiliency action plan. The action plan will include effective strategies to address current and future risks such as sea level rise, increased storm frequency and intensity, tidegate and dike problems or failures, wetland loss, as well as other impacts.
