CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla.

The county is beginning work on a study to assess the risks and impacts to Charlotte County from existing and future climate conditions. Understanding these risks will guide decisions related to public policies and investments, and will help support county businesses and residents to prepare for future challenges together. This state-funded vulnerability assessment will use data to understand at the neighborhood level how changing environmental conditions could increase local flooding, especially from the impacts of stronger 和更多的 frequent extreme storms. By addressing these concerns head on, the county will provide valuable information relating to insurance concerns, real estate investments, and capital investments made by the county to support a more resilient future.
The study is planned for completion in spring 2025, and we are actively seeking community engagement and input. Come learn about this assessment process, and bring your questions and insights.
