The Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED) is hosting a series of online engagement sessions to inform development of a Local Floodplain Action Guide, a guide to assist cities and towns in taking impactful zoning, administrative, and other local actions to reduce flood risk and promote flood-resilient construction. Municipal staff and board members, elected officials, regional planning agencies, community-based organizations, and stakeholders are invited to join and contribute. Upcoming sessions include the following:


  *   Reducing Flood Risk in Boston Harbor and the North & South Shores, Regional Engagement Session via Zoom, November 30th at 12 pm: bit.ly/floodplain-shores
  *   Reducing Flood Risk on the Cape, Islands, and South Coast, Regional Engagement Session via Zoom, December 7th at 12 pm: bit.ly/floodplain-islands

Sessions will be conducted in an online format, with date, time, and topic. Full event details are available at https://www.mass.gov/building-code-study-and-local-floodplain-action-guide.
