Snohomish County Launches Survey to Guide Communitywide Climate Resiliency Plan

On May 5, Snohomish County launched a survey to gather community input for its Communitywide Climate Resiliency Plan, addressing urgent climate change impacts. The county is already experiencing challenges such as hotter summers, reduced snowpack, and rising sea levels, which threaten homes and businesses. The survey invites residents to share their perspectives until May 23, with options available in multiple languages to ensure inclusivity. County Executive Dave Somers stressed the need for community feedback to enhance the region's climate resilience. This community-driven plan aims to set priorities that strengthen ecosystems and infrastructure while ensuring equitable outcomes.

The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, which oversees various environmental initiatives, supports this effort to foster a thriving, sustainable community. Feedback collected will help shape a shared vision for the future of Snohomish County. By engaging residents, the county seeks to enhance preparedness and recovery strategies against climate-related challenges.
