Registration for the Climate Ready Manhattan Beach Focus Group meetings is now open at this link.

The City is studying its vulnerability to climate change to better protect Manhattan Beach's coastline, public health, and infrastructure. Sea level rise, an increase in extreme heat days and more severe storms are all potential threats that the City intends to prepare for within Climate Ready MB. Engaging all voices of the community throughout the process of this project is key to ensuring long-term success. 

As a next step to the first public meeting, the City will conduct a series of virtual focus groups. Each of the three meetings will provide the same content and allow for an intimate discussion of the preferred adaptation strategy for the City. These meetings will present:

• Initial findings of the Sea-Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment

• Potential adaptation strategies to address these coastal hazards

Focus group meetings will occur at 6pm on February 17th and 23rd. The meetings are open to all and additional meetings may be added as needed, to allow full community participation.

More information about Climate Ready Manhattan Beach can be found on our webpage. If you haven't already, we also request that you watch our VR videos on the future of sea level rise in the City and participate in the short online survey.
