The Beach SAMP team has held multiple municipal work sessions in collaboration with other state agency partners to discuss adaptation planning at the local level.

The purpose of these meetings was to increase awareness of:

• RI Mapping tools & planning resources available, where to find them(particularly STORMTOOLS);
• New state planning requirements for climate change and natural hazards, as well as the linkages between comprehensive plans and local hazard mitigation plans; and
• Example municipal adaptation strategies and where to get more information.
