RDN News Release - Residents Invited to Provide Input on Their Experience with Coastal Risks

The Regional District of Nanaimo’s (RDN) coastal areas are home to many residents, important services like roads and utilities, diverse and sensitive ecosystems, rich agricultural lands and some of our most scenic landscapes. These areas are also the most vulnerable to coastal hazards such as flooding, erosion and storm events. These coastal risks can contribute to environmental and structural impacts like landslides, infrastructure and property damage, road closures, and loss of agricultural and recreational lands. We are starting a conversation about our changing coast, including current experiences and how we can prepare for a sustainable future together. The RDN invites residents to share their experiences and questions about coastal hazards through a survey until November 17, 2024.
