Episode Details

Portland’s racing against rising seas with a bold new flood mapping initiative, born from the devastation of January 2024’s coastal storms. Using community grant funding, city planners are scanning vulnerable zones like Bayside and Back Cove, cataloging every asset—from roads to sewer lines—to pinpoint flood risks. With projections warning East End Beach could be submerged by 2100, this real-time data drive aims to shield businesses like J’s Oyster and guide smarter infrastructure decisions. Consultants are surveying even island communities as the project rolls from mid-August to early September—turning data into defense for a resilient future.
