CRMC talks to Realtors on front lines of climate change
February 5, 2019, CRANSTON – In Rhode Island, there is little to no memory of the last major hurricane – Hurricane Carol in 1954 – and that’s a problem, says Grover Fugate, executive director of the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC).
“There’s no institutional memory of the last big hurricane,” he said to a classroom of Rhode Island Association of Realtors members earlier this month. “We don’t want to wait for a 100-year event to find out what it’s going to do to us. We want to predict it now.”
