Project goals

The goal of this work is to understand the experiences and historical knowledge of Eastern Shore residents. Ideally, our research can support the Shore’s rural communities to prepare for long-term stresses, like too much water causing flooding or too little water affecting crops, and sudden events like big storms. To help residents and community planners make informed decisions about the future, we are creating an interactive app with information about hazards and impacts of different factors that affect the Eastern Shore.
