We recently hosted an online webinar to provide an update on the Resilience Management Plan Project, including preliminary analyses and early results.
This project will help identify natural hazards along the Lake Superior coastline and guide local policies to better protect homes, businesses, camps, infrastructure, and the natural environment from hazards such as flooding, erosion, wave uprush, and severe storms.
