Hi folks With applogies for cross-posting. I am forwardind this message on behalf of Art DeGaetano at the NRCC. Please click on the survey link before 18 December and share your thoughts. Regards Lesley-Ann Hello Colleagues: I'm writing to ask for your help in identifying regional priority climate needs. As part of ongoing efforts of NOAA's Eastern Region Climate Team and its collaborators, EPA/NESCAUM has administered a cross-sector climate needs survey, the results of which will be included in a NESCAUM authored report. Content of the survey is derived from a NOAA issued needs assessment authored earlier this year. Survey results also will be incorporated into NEclimateUS.org (currently under development), a gateway to a broad range of information related to climate in the eastern US. The website is intended to serve as a shared resource for a wide audience, including research scientists, service providers, fish and wildlife managers, and decision-makers, and results from a collaborative effort of NWF/NALCC, NOAA and EPA. Please complete the survey below, and distribute it broadly within your network of state and local contacts working directly with climate and relevant sectors. We ask that the survey be completed by December 18th: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/climateadaptneeds Thank you for participating in this effort; your help will go a long way to ensuring we are capturing regional climate needs!
