Communities Responding to Extreme Weather - CREW

Here’s this weekend’s MRC Workshop in Needham!

We had an amazing presentation on flood preparedness by our program manager here at CREW, Leigh. She cleared up many misconceptions, like floods aren’t caused only by climate change but also by poor infrastructure that can’t handle excess water.

Community members shared experiences, including concerns about the lack of clear guidance during flood response efforts, such as being advised on turning off gas or water pipes.

Huge shoutout to Leigh, Jackson, and the MRC unit coordinators for an engaging and informative session that helps us all be better prepared!👏

Join CREW's Rachael Boyce and the Marlborough Conservation Commission's Priscilla Ryder on Saturday 9/21 from 12 to 1:30 PM EST as they talk about climate preparedness in Marlborough.
