Understanding Climate Readiness for Sonoma County

Introduction

The Regional Climate Protection Authority (RCPA) and the North Bay Climate Adaptation Initiative (NBCAI) have been working together to create a set of high-priority, strategic objectives to help Sonoma County be resilient in the face of climate change. This work is based off the Climate Ready Sonoma County: Climate Hazards and Vulnerabilities study, which helps us understand what our likely vulnerabilities will be.

We need your help! You are invited to share your thoughts and ideas on potential solutions and strategies to implement Sonoma County Adaptation Objectives. This information will help inform our climate action plan, future NBCAI and RCPA priorities, and more. This survey should take less than 10 minutes. To answer the questions of the survey, click on the blue POST button below.
