Climate: Projections & Vulnerabilities
MCOG has a database of climate-related maps and projects. We have flood data including highest astronomical tide, sea and lake overland surges from hurricanes, and FEMA flood map data available. We can add elements such as wetlands, streams, conservation areas, infrastructure, and more to customize a map for your town. The backgrounds can be a satellite, topographic, or street-based image. Please reach out to us with any requests and we would be happy to assist you.
Please reach out to Charlotte Nutt at cnutt@midcoastcog.com for all assistance. MCOG can provide maps or technical guidance for GIS-related questions.
