Where do you think San Mateo County is most vulnerable to climate change hazards from rising temperature and heat, wildfires, intensifying rainfall and severe storm events?

We want you to share your input with us by using the pins on the map to provide information about your experience with climate change.

Climate change is here, and it poses many risks to the built and natural environment in San Mateo County. Rising temperatures and heat waves, wildfires, extreme storms, sea level rise and coastal erosion are some of the challenges we face. By working together, planning ahead and being better informed, we can be more effectively prepare to protect our communities, natural resources, essential services and infrastructure, and most importantly our physical and mental well-being and health. Climate Ready SMC is an initiative of the County of San Mateo Office of Sustainability.

 


The California King Tides Project helps people visualize future sea level by observing the highest high tides of today. You can help by taking and sharing photos of the shoreline during King Tides to create a record of the changes to our coast from sea level rise. Find out when and how high King Tides will be near you. Learn how to participate by uploading your photos via a web browser or with a free app. These California King Tides photos are displayed on an interactive story map.

King Tides Came January 20 and 21, 2019.

She is the first Coastside resident to serve on the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District’s board since the organization’s boundaries expanded to include the San Mateo County Coast in 2004.                                         And, yes, the waves did get Zoe wet.

Cambria Bartlett of Heirs to Our Oceans. She is 14, inspired, articulate and our future.

HEIRS TO OUR OCEANS.  That’s who we are, along with your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and newly-spawned zygotes.

Heirs to our oceans are the next generation and the future generations who will inherit this planet and all that comes with it…. after your generation is done with it.

We live just near the Pacific Ocean.  We have learned about and seen the atrocities to our ocean.  We have studied what is happening to know why action is needed to end the human impact on our planet’s oceans.

We are sad.  We are mad.  We are motivated.  We are inspired.  We are hopeful.  We are tenacious.  And together we are taking action.
