RESILIENCE - Planning for Sea Level Rise in San Francisco Bay, a conversation co-sponsored by Treasure Island Museum and the Port of San Francisco, will be presented online on Friday, September 13, 2024 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. Admission is free, advance reservations encouraged.

Participants:

• Allison Brooks, Executive Director, Bay Area Regional Collaborative

• Dana Brechwald, Assistant Planning Director for Climate Adaptation, Bay Conservation and Development Commission

Topics:

• Regulatory Agency Coordination - How are we collaborating as a region? How does TI development fit into the larger framework?

• Public/Private Development Partnerships - How does TI's model compare with other local communities?

• Public Engagement

• Sea Level Rise Adaptation - Best Practices. Critiques of these approaches by design professionals.

This panel discussion will address resilience planning for sea level rise throughout San Francisco Bay and expand on concepts presented in RESILIENCE: How the Redevelopment of Treasure Island Addresses Sea Level Rise, the current exhibition in Treasure Island Museum’s free public gallery. The exhibition and this concurrent program illuminate how Treasure Island’s current redevelopment anticipates and addresses climate change and sea level rise; both highlight the extraordinary measures taken to secure Treasure Island's future while preserving significant aspects of its past. RESILIENCE is funded by a generous grant from California Humanities.
