The Town of Bowers is embarking on a cooperative effort with DNREC and NOAA to develop a Storm Resiliency Plan to evaluate the vulnerability of the Town and its ability to recover from a major storm event. The goal of this project is to develop a community-wide action plan that increases the resiliency of Bowers Beach, Delaware to the current and future affects of coastal storms and climate change. The project will develop a proactive plan that outlines the specific vulnerabilities of the community and the best actions to be pursued to address these issues. This will include actions to address current risks as well as future risks associated with climate change, including the potential impacts of sea level rise, increased storm frequencies and intensities, increased rates of erosion, salt water intrusion, wetland loss, and other impacts. The long range plan is not only to make the Town aware of its vulnerabilities and to come up with a plan to mitigate those vulnerabilities, but to use the analysis to seek out grants to accomplish work included in the plan. The success of this project depends on your involvement. We need input from everyone as to present conditions as well as our long history of storm impact. This is a pilot program If you wish to participate in the workshops, please contact Bonnie W. Arvay, DNREC-302-739-9283 and/or fill out the following:
