Description

Rising global temperatures prompt each of us to consider, "How will the effects of climate change manifest where I live?" The maps below consider tree cover, heat, flood risk, and impervious surface cover in Peekskill and Cortlandt as a way of predicting which areas may be hard-hit by the effects of climate change. This investigation also examines whether Disadvantaged Communities, as defined by NYSERDA, are particularly at risk of experiencing severe effects of climate change.
