Miami-Dade sea level rise Task force report and recommendations
Warming of the oceans, melting ice sheets, and extreme weather events have become more prominent realities during the past year. Southeast Florida has been experiencing some of these effects first-hand, with severe downpours and “king tides” causing localized flooding in some areas of Miami-Dade County. These events provide a glimpse into the future of what we may expect to experience even more frequently and to more extremes in the region. They also provide an opportunity to better understand what these extremes may mean for our community and how we can begin to address these impacts now.
