Delaware River Basin Commission Climate Resilience Plan Public Input Sessions Scheduled Thru June

The Delaware River Basin Commission has started the process of developing a Climate Resilience Plan to address the impacts of changes in the frequency, duration and geographic distribution of severe storms, floods and droughts brought on by climate change.  

A resolution adopted last June directing Commission staff to develop the Plan includes an outline of the kinds of issues it should address, including, but not limited to flow and drought management, flood loss, water quality, water use and water efficiency, water equity and environmental justice, metrics to measure the impacts of climate change, education and funding priorities.

Public Input

DRBC has scheduled a series of public input sessions on the plan, both in-person and virtual-- to assist the staff in developing the plan.

The next session is a March 12 webinar and seven more meetings will be held through June 11.
