Richmond Sea Level Rise Community Workshop

Richmond Sea Level Rise Community Workshop

Thu, Oct 15, 12:00 AM
From The Watershed Project

Join your Richmond neighbors to learn about sea level rise, share local knowledge, and help shape the city’s climate-ready future! [Register Here](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/richmond-sea-level-rise-community-workshop-tickets-2000312711166?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true) Are you concerned about how sea level rise and shoreline flooding could affect your neighborhood? Flooding can affect homes, streets, businesses, parks, transportation, utilities, and other places and services our communities depend on. Come join your neighbors and help shape Richmond’s plan for a safer, more climate-ready future. **5:00–5:45 PM \| OPEN HOUSE \| Open to everyone** Walk through a series of maps and displays showing what the project team has learned about where sea level rise and related flooding could cause problems in Richmond, what places and infrastructure may be most affected, and why some areas may be more at risk than others. Talk directly with City staff, planners, designers, engineers, and other residents, ask questions, and share what you know about your community. If you participated in our previous community workshop, you will also be able to see how community input was incorporated into this work. We heard what residents told us was important, and this is an opportunity to see how that knowledge helped shape the assessment. Light refreshments provided. **5:45–6:30 PM \| COMMUNITY DISCUSSION GROUPS \| Advanced registration needed** Want to have a deeper conversation about your neighborhood? Register for one of four small-group discussions: • Parchester Village • North Richmond + Shields-Reid • Central Richmond: Atchison, Santa Fe, Coronado, and Marina Bay • Southeast Richmond: Parkview, Richmond Annex, Panhandle Annex, and Southwest Annex Each group will focus on real places and community concerns in that area. Together, we will discuss: * **What are we talking about?** This may be homes, streets, a facility, infrastructure, or another important community asset. * **Why is it vulnerable?** What makes that place or asset sensitive to sea level rise, flooding, or other related hazards? * **What could we do about it?** We will look at possible approaches, from larger solutions that could protect several places at once to more targeted solutions for specific homes, streets, or facilities. * **What do you think?** We want to hear your local knowledge, priorities, preferences, and concerns so they can help guide future adaptation decisions. Community members who participate will receive a gift card in appreciation for their time and input. **6:30–7:00 PM \| COMMUNITY SHARE\-OUT \+ CLOSING** Your experience and local knowledge matter. Help us make sure Richmond’s sea level rise plan reflects the people, places, and priorities of our communities. -- ¡Únete a tus vecinos de Richmond para informarte sobre el aumento del nivel del mar, compartir conocimientos locales y ayudar a dar forma al futuro de la ciudad, preparado para el cambio climático! ¿Te preocupa cómo el aumento del nivel del mar y las inundaciones costeras podrían afectar a tu barrio? Las inundaciones pueden afectar a viviendas, calles, comercios, parques, transporte, servicios públicos y otros lugares y servicios de los que dependen nuestras comunidades. Ven a unirte a tus vecinos y ayuda a dar forma al plan de Richmond para un futuro más seguro y mejor preparado para el cambio climático. **17:00–17:45 \| JORNADA DE PUERTAS ABIERTAS \| Abierto a todos** Recorre una serie de mapas y exposiciones que muestran lo que el equipo del proyecto ha averiguado sobre dónde el aumento del nivel del mar y las inundaciones relacionadas podrían causar problemas en Richmond, qué lugares e infraestructuras podrían verse más afectados y por qué algunas zonas pueden correr más riesgo que otras. Hable directamente con el personal municipal, los urbanistas, los diseñadores, los ingenieros y otros residentes, haga preguntas y comparta lo que sabe sobre su comunidad. Si participó en nuestro anterior taller comunitario, también podrá ver cómo se han incorporado las aportaciones de la comunidad a este trabajo. Hemos tenido en cuenta lo que los residentes nos indicaron que era importante, y esta es una oportunidad para ver cómo esos conocimientos han ayudado a dar forma a la evaluación. Se ofrecerá un pequeño refrigerio. **17:45–18:30 \| GRUPOS DE TRABAJO COMUNITARIOS \| Es necesario inscribirse con antelación** ¿Quieres participar en una conversación más profunda sobre tu barrio? Inscríbete en uno de los cuatro grupos de debate: • Parchester Village • North Richmond + Shields-Reid • Richmond Central: Atchison, Santa Fe, Coronado y Marina Bay • Richmond Sureste: Parkview, Richmond Annex, Panhandle Annex y Southwest Annex Cada grupo se centrará en lugares concretos y en las preocupaciones de la comunidad de esa zona. Juntos, discutiremos: ¿De qué estamos hablando? Puede tratarse de viviendas, calles, una instalación, infraestructuras u otro activo importante para la comunidad. ¿Por qué es vulnerable? ¿Qué hace que ese lugar o activo sea sensible al aumento del nivel del mar, a las inundaciones u otros riesgos relacionados? ¿Qué podríamos hacer al respecto? Analizaremos posibles enfoques, desde soluciones a gran escala que podrían proteger varios lugares a la vez hasta soluciones más específicas para viviendas, calles o instalaciones concretas. ¿Qué opinas? Queremos conocer tus conocimientos locales, prioridades, preferencias y preocupaciones para que nos ayuden a orientar las futuras decisiones de adaptación. Los miembros de la comunidad que participen recibirán una tarjeta regalo en agradecimiento por su tiempo y sus aportaciones. **18:30–19:00 \| INTERCAMBIO COMUNITARIO \+ CLAUSURA** Tu experiencia y tus conocimientos locales son importantes. Ayúdanos a garantizar que el plan de Richmond contra el aumento del nivel del mar refleje a las personas, los lugares y las prioridades de nuestras comunidades.
