The Metropolitan region is highly vulnerable to ever-increasing flooding, coastal erosion, and major damage and destruction, threatening the nation’s largest, most valuable and most complex urban and suburban infrastructures: governmental, commercial, industrial, municipal and residential. We research and advocate realistic and cost-effective regional solutions to what is a regional problem that transcends geographic and political boundaries.
