Eastport and Pine Street Adaptation Report Cards

At the end of May, IAN released the first community-level adaptation report cards for the Eastport and Pine Street neighborhoods in Annapolis, MD and Cambridge, MD. These report cards used surveys to determine resilience priorities in each neighborhood and assessed the communities’ preparedness for responding to threats like extreme heat, severe weather, and flooding. The Eastport neighborhood scored a C, with more effort needed to mitigate the effect of impervious surfaces on flooding. The Pine Street neighborhood scored a D, with effort needed to reduce the community’s vulnerability to extreme heat. These report cards are available on IAN’s website and at the Eastport Yacht Club, the Harriet Tubman Freedom Center, and at events hosted by the Blacks of the Chesapeake Foundation.
