Public comment is sought on a 291-page draft report on San Mateo County’s vulnerability to rising sea levels. The report was prepared by the county with funding and cooperation from the California Coastal Conservancy.
Using various scenarios of sea level rise, the report analyzes impacts on the county’s beaches and wetlands, public health infrastructure, homes, businesses, schools, airports, wastewater treatment plants and police stations.
The report says it “aims to increase awareness of the issue countywide and to provide a foundation for planning and projects that increase resilience and reduce risks.”
