The inland limit of the primary frontal dune occurs at the point where there is a distinct change from a relatively steep slope to a relatively mild slope.Areas designated as Zone VE, by definition, must at a minimum extend to the inland limit of the PFD. Primary frontal dunes are mapped as Zone VE because of their important role as the first line of defense against flooding. The Zone VE designation ensures that dunes are not subject to manmade alterations in a way that could increase potential flood damage. The Zone VE designation also reflects the potential risk of erosion and undermining of structures that exists for primary frontal dunes. 

24.
How long does it take to conduct a coastal flood study?

Taken as a whole, the mapping process, from inception to final map adoption, can take several years. 

25.
Why does a coastal study take so long?

There are three primary reasons for the length of a study from project inception through final map adoption:Coordination with multiple stakeholder groups;Complex modeling; andThe appeal process and compliance period. 

26.
What stakeholders are involved in conducting a coastal flood study?

It is important for our Nation to have accurate flood hazard information. This information is used by communities to plan for disaster resiliency and by individual property owners to protect themselves and their assets. Coastal flood studies are complicated and many stakeholders may be involved in their development, including:Other Federal agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Geological Survey, or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service;Multiple State agencies including the State National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Coordinator, the State Hazard Mitigation Officer, State emergency managers, State dam safety officials, and others;Regional authorities such as water boards and planning commissions;Several local community officials including the local floodplain administrator, planning/zoning officials, emergency managers, and Chief Executive Officers (e.g. Mayors, City/Town Managers, County/Parish Executives and their communications staff); andPrivate sector and non-profit organizations who are also interested in the coastal FIRMs, especially engineers, environmental scientists, surveyors, realtors, developers, mortgage bankers, and the non-profit organizations that support them such as universities and professional societies.

California’s climate investments
Under Governor Gavin Newsom, California has been a leader in confronting the climate crisis.
California is on the front lines of climate change. We’ve experienced devastating wildfires, record-breaking extreme heat, and mega droughts. The costs of climate change are too great not to act. Extreme weather events cost U.S. taxpayers $165 billion in 2022 alone.
California is aggressively moving away from fossil fuels. We’re reducing our demand for oil by ending the sale of new gas cars by 2035. Governor Newsom signed a law to phase out harmful oil production in our communities.
Governor Newsom advanced a historic, multi-billion-dollar climate budget that:

Tackles wildfire and drought challenges
Helps communities adapt to extreme weather
Supports the state’s zero emission vehicle goals
Delivers clean, reliable, and affordable energy
Saves Californians money and creates prosperous communities

These world-leading climate policies are making a difference.

California is home to the most clean energy jobs in the U.S.
Our renewable energy and clean vehicle industries lead the nation in growth.
We exceeded our 2020 climate target 6 years ahead of schedule.
California created 6 times more clean jobs than fossil fuel jobs.
Our focus on innovation made electric vehicles California’s number one export.
We’re part of climate partnerships across the United States and around the world.

Governor Newsom is also advancing environmental justice. This includes protecting Californians from harmful pollution and building climate resilience in disadvantaged communities.

“Their observations will help us understand the fundamentals of Earth’s heat balance, allowing us to better predict how our ice, seas, and weather will change in the face of global warming.”</p>

<p>The mission’s CubeSats each carry an instrument called a thermal infrared spectrometer, which use specially shaped mirrors and sensors to measure infrared wavelengths. Miniaturizing the instruments to fit on CubeSats necessitated downsizing some parts while scaling up other components.</p>

<p>“Our planet is changing quickly, and in places like the Arctic, in ways that people have never experienced before,” said Tristan L’Ecuyer, PREFIRE’s principal investigator, University of Wisconsin, Madison. “NASA’s PREFIRE will give us new measurements of the far-infrared wavelengths being emitted from Earth’s poles, which we can use to improve climate and weather models and help people around the world deal with the consequences of climate change.”</p>

<p>NASA’s Launch Services Program, based out of the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, in partnership with NASA’s Earth System Science Pathfinder Program is providing the launch service as part of the agency’s Venture-class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare (<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/13-companies-to-provide-venture-class-launch-services-for-nasa/">VADR</a>) launch services contract.</p>

<p>The PREFIRE mission was jointly developed by NASA and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. NASA JPL manages the mission for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate and provided the spectrometers. Blue Canyon Technologies built the CubeSats and the University of Wisconsin-Madison will process the data the instruments collect. The launch services provider is Rocket Lab USA Inc. of Long Beach, California.</p>

SENATOR WIENER’S WORK ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE ENVIRONMENT | Senator Scott Wiener
Understanding that to meet its aggressive climate goals, California must decrease its carbon footprint, Senator Wiener strongly advocates for building new housing near public transportation and close to where people work. The state’s current approach to housing and land use — banning apartment buildings and affordable housing near public transportation and job centers and thus forcing people to move further and further out — has created sprawl, which covers up farmland and open space and increases carbon emissions by creating longer and longer commutes. This sprawl development also worsens wildfires and makes a strong response to wildfires more difficult.
Senator Wiener recently pursued legislation, SB 467, to ban fracking and other dangerous drilling, including drilling within 2,500 of homes and schools, and SB 260, to hold corporations accountable for climate change by requiring them to report their carbon emissions.
Senator Wiener co-authored SB 1, which taxes gas in order to fund public transportation and road repairs, and passed SB 288 to expedite approval of sustainable transportation projects, including protected bike lanes, pedestrian safety upgrades, light rail, bus-only lanes, and “Slow Streets.”
As a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Senator Wiener authored legislation requiring water recycling and solar panels in new developments. He also authored legislation to protect and expand green spaces, create new parks, and expand San Francisco’s urban forest.

SENATOR WIENER’S WORK ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Senator Wiener is an environmental champion who fights every day for a better climate future. He is the author of numerous forward-thinking climate policies that will help California transition to 100% clean energy, and he strongly supports a Green New Deal.
In 2018, Senator Wiener passed SB 700 — the largest clean energy storage investment in California history — to transform the California energy storage market and extend solar usage into the evening and night hours. SB 700 provides customer rebates for installation of energy storage systems, just as California once did for solar panels. In 2022, his legislation requiring cities to implement instant permitting for solar and energy storage systems, SB 379, became law. He also authored and passed SB 966, to require the State Water Board to create water reuse standards in California, which will allow cities to implement local water reuse programs while still maintaining public health protections.
Senator Wiener also works to protect the environment and fight climate change through his housing and transportation work. Understanding that to meet its aggressive climate goals, California must decrease its carbon footprint, Senator Wiener strongly advocates for building new housing near public transportation and close to where people work. The state’s current approach to housing and land use — banning apartment buildings and affordable housing near public transportation and job centers and thus forcing people to move further and further out — has created sprawl, which covers up farmland and open space and increases carbon emissions by creating longer and longer commutes. This sprawl development also worsens wildfires and makes a strong response to wildfires more difficult.
