During the webinar, City staff will share key highlights from Phase I of the Resilient St. Pete Action Plan. The first phase included walking tours across nine participating neighborhoods and engaged residents to help identify areas facing flooding and other potential environmental challenges. These findings were documented in partnership with City consultants Jacobs Engineering and the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council.

The information collected from Phase I will be used to guide and complement several ongoing City initiatives, including the Stormwater Master Plan, the St. Pete Agile Resilience plan (SPAR), the Seawall Study, and other resiliency adaptation planning efforts.

During the informational webinar, the City will also present a new interactive digital map that displays the results of the neighborhood tours and what ideas emerged from residents during the tours.

The meeting will also include a discussion on the next steps for strengthening the City of St. Petersburg's ability to adapt and thrive in the face of climate change.
