Have Your Say in Alameda’s Waterfront Future!

The Oakland Alameda Adaptation Committee (OAAC) is excited to invite you to a community event that matters to all of us — the annual Alameda Sea Level Rise Planning Fair! This open house-style event is your chance to learn about local risks, explore climate adaptation solutions, and share your ideas for protecting our communities and natural spaces.

The Planning Fair is taking place on Saturday, September 27, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at REAP Climate Center, 2133 Tynan Ave., Alameda. Visitors will have a hands-on opportunity to explore sea-level-rise concepts, learn about risks to our shoreline, and help shape the future of our waterfront. There will also be an opportunity to chat with the experts who have been working on how to make our communities safer, and to weigh in on possible solutions.

Projects to be presented at the open house-style event include two local Alameda-based adaptation projects that address priority vulnerable areas, have gone through conceptual design processes, and are in the final revision stages. The OAAC has also been mapping the sea-level-rise vulnerabilities of the entire shoreline of Alameda, and has developed some proposed adaptation measures to present for community feedback.

Come anytime during the event window — there is no formal presentation, just good conversations and engaging activities! You’ll find:

• Hands-on exhibits and interactive maps

• Opportunities to give feedback on shoreline adaptation designs

• Creative stations for sharing your vision for the future

The OAAC is a coalition of shoreline communities and stakeholders working to co-create a coordinated and inclusive future-looking action plan and sub-regional organizational structure to accelerate sea-level-rise adaptation, protect and restore water quality, recreation and habitat, and promote community resilience.
