The City of New Bern is undertaking a bold new effort at flood mitigation and resiliency planning and we need
your help. Residents and visitors remember the devastating effects of hurricane Florence in eastern North Carolina, and the
images of hurricane Laura’s devastation in Texas and Louisiana illustrate the need for hazard mitigation and resiliency planning
in coastal communities.
Earlier this year, the City began working with our consultant partners on a multi-phase, long term hazard mitigation and
resiliency plan that will include significant public input. Once it is complete, the City hopes this plan will become a model for
other coastal communities. We invite you to be a part of this endeavor as we work together to plan for New Bern’s future.
