Annapolis Prepares for "The Big One"

Filmsters
After Hurricane Isabel in 2003 and before Katrina in 2005, Annapolis made state-of-the-art plans to rebuild its city dock, raising it 10 feet higher, adding in rubber retaining walls to protect the city against flooding putting this small, historic, seaside town on the cutting edge of climate change and hurricane preparedness.

    • I echo the previous comments applauding Annapolis and it's leaders being proactive. What a concept! Even though I live right across the bridge in Alexandria, I didn't know about the impact hurricane Isabel had had on the city until I saw the video. The choice of interviewees and footage were solid. It gave good information while reflecting the personality and hometown feel of the area.

      peace,

    • Well done Filmsters! I had no idea that Annapolis had plans to protect the harbor. I also see a side of the Mayor that I hadn't seen before.

    • We had no idea that Annapolis was so progressive until we did this story. The question is, why aren't other cities doing similar things in the face of climate change?
