The severe recent flooding serves as a harsh reminder of how vulnerable much of Maine is to storms. We’ll learn whether flooding will become more frequent, where it is likely to cause the most damage, and what individuals and communities need to know about prevention, preparation and recovery. And we’ll discuss flood insurance and resources.
