Survey: Adapting to Climate Hazards in Tarrytown
The Village of Tarrytown is in the process of planning for the impacts of climate change. Whether in reference to extreme temperatures, extreme weather events, or flooding, community input on the hazards and proposed strategies is essential. As we work to improve our responses to natural and manmade disasters, understanding our community's vulnerabilities will help us better target our interventions. Please complete this short survey below to help us better understand our community need.
