At this Sustainable Land Strategy (SLS) special topic session, which is the first of a two part series, UW Climate Impacts Group will:
* Provide a brief summary of the best available climate science/most notable observations for the Sno-Stilly
* Provide an overview of new guidance documents developed by the Climate Impacts Group:
* Climate Adaptation for Floodplain Management: Introductory Guidance
* Complementary Technical Guidance document on quantifying exposure and sensitivity
* Searchable database of climate information resources
* Solicit feedback from group on the usability of these guidance documents, potential improvements, etc.
Join us on Wednesday, December 1 at 1:30 PM to learn more.
Participants are encouraged to send questions to easinas@uw.edu<mailto:easinas@uw.edu> before the presentation. Please forward this invitation to anyone else you know who might be interested in attending.

In preparation for the December 1 SLS Special Topics Session, the Climate Impacts Group would like to share new resources, intended to support climate-resilient floodplain management. You can find these resources at this website, or through the links below.
These documents will be the focus of tomorrow’s discussion and will help frame following conversations on advancing adaptation.
Guidance: Introduction to Climate Adaptation (website): A document that guides floodplain practitioners and stakeholders through the fundamental elements of the adaptation process.
Guidance: Quantifying Climate Impacts (website): A technical guidance document for practitioners who are interested in better understanding climate data, quantifying exposure and sensitivity, and managing uncertainty in their work.
Database: Climate Information and Resources: A selection of key resources (datasets, plans, documents) related to climate change in the Snohomish and Stillaguamish watersheds.
Join us via Zoom tomorrow at 1:30 PM to learn more (ID: 875 6929 9372).
In addition, the Climate Impacts Groups has also provided a handout that summarizes the findings of an adaptation needs assessment. This document will support the discussion and activities during the December 8 SLS Special Topics Session:
Adaptation Needs Assessment Summary (attached handout): A summary of identified adaptation themes, challenges, needs, and existing opportunities for integrating climate change into Integrated Floodplain Management activities
Join us via Zoom on Wednesday, December 8 at 1:30 PM to learn more (ID: 880 9541 8538).
Both presentations will be recorded and posted to the YouTube channel linked on the FarmFishFlood.org website. The schedule of future special topics sessions can also be found on the website.
