North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS)

1/26/2015

Pam Patrick attended a BSCES meeting yesterday discussing the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS) from the US Army Corps of Engineers. The meeting acted as a means to announce that the report is coming and will be posted on: http://www.nad.usace.army.mil/CompStudy later this month. The report will contains risk maps from New Hampshire to Virginia regarding exposure, and vulnerability (both cultural and environmental). And, of course, discusses the means of the GIS and other methods used to calculate the projected sea level rise and risk assessment for the analysis. Certainly its worth keeping an eye out in the weeks ahead for the report. It will also be interesting to see if it is "approved by Congress" (which is the next step in the process for the Corps). 

 A couple of particularly interesting points from the talk: 
 The Corps wants to move in the direction of scaling or quantifying resilience, so as to better compare between suggested project alternatives. They are also trying to make strides toward provided general cost estimates for different mitigation techniques. Finally, they want to provide design recommendations for nature based infrastructure. This information should all be available through the same general website above, although I'm trying to locate and download specific documents on these issues. If I find anything valuable I'll be sure to pass it along.
