Most Recent Concerns:

I'm concerned that climate change and the associated sea level rise and increased storm intensity/frequency will cause additional panic in the insurance industry, spurring further rate increases and driving many coastal residents to leave their homes.

Rising sea levels combined with hurricanes is my concern. There are so many low-lying areas today. Sea level rise, plus a high tide, plus a storm surge is a maximum problem. You can batten down a home against the wind, but rising water is going to come in. Homes arent build to withstand a flood of a certain depth. Vents under homes would have them inundated quickly. Lets move to higher ground, like Asheville, NC.

I'm concerned about local transportation infrastructure and my ability to get from my home to anywhere else. The accessibility of roads determines much of what I do and where I go and if those roads are impacted by sea level rise, my ability to get somewhere is impacted.

My concern is that flawed political climates will overcome sound ethical thinking with respect to climate change and planning for potential impacts and preserving open space.

I'm worried that as we grow we are not taking into consideration the long term inpacts of that development as it related to coastal hazards and sea level rise. Also, that we are not prepared for how we would handle the next coastal disaster and the mitigation that comes after.

Concerned that the increase in population and growth in the region will lead to the degradation of our coastal resources - the very resources that people come to the area for.

im worried that my proprty taxes will go up bc i will finally be waterfront

I worry about the health of my children, if I decide to have a family. Our generation is probably fine, but our lack of concern for the future is sickening. Ask yourself whose air are you ruining - yours or your grandchildren's?

Region is not taking the air quality issues serously.

I worry that we are placing a huge burden on future generations by not reducing our fossil fuel addiction

Loss of critical habitat

Our home could become more vulnerable to floods
