The first draft of the study outlines more than 20 infrastructure projects along 16 miles of Boston’s coastline that would protect inland areas from flooding during extreme weather events. The city began to take coastal resilience seriously after it just missed being hit by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Swett said. Its Climate Ready Boston initiative, published in 2016, resulted in the creation of Coastal Resilience Solutions plans, which identify flood risk locations and opportunities for prevention infrastructure. The infrastructure projects in the draft report — including floodwalls, berms and floodgates — generally align with projects outlined in Climate Ready Boston neighborhood plans, said Nayeli Rodriguez, deputy director of Boston’s Office of Climate Resilience. Stakeholders in every city are addressing climate resilience as they face rising insurance rates, bond opportunities and inquiries from companies considering relocation, Swett said.
