Impact of Sea-Level Rise on San Mateo County.

Dave Pine,
Supervisor, San Mateo County Board, will provide an overview of the potential
impacts of sea-level rise on San Mateo County. San Mateo County is the most
vulnerable county to sea-level rise in the state of California, and at risk are
people, property, ecosystems and the economy. In our County alone, the
projected impact affects 110,000 people, seven wastewater treatment plants and
property valued at $24 billion. Supervisor Pine will discuss the steps that
have been taken to address sea-level rise and a call to action for what more
can be done. Learn more about this important public policy issue that has an
impact on everyone in the County.
