Resiliency
The Resiliency Committee is an advisory body to the Mayor and is composed of volunteers and city staff. Committee meetings are open to the public and minutes are posted. Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month or as determined by the chair. Currently, the meetings are from 3-4:30 pm, on the 2nd floor of city hall and via Zoom. Agendas and the Zoom link are posted on the city’s website.
Mission Statement
The committee, in conjunction with regional planning efforts, developed the Newburyport Resiliency Plan (2020) to increase community resilience related to impacts of climate change including sea level rise, storm surge, flooding and extreme weather events throughout the City. The committee is now focused on advocating for and overseeing implementation of the plan’s recommendations.
