Climate resilience context

Gloucester uses the Massachusetts state resilience seed. The scenarios linked to this city page are flooding, freezes and winter cold snaps, hurricanes / coastal tropical storms, and straight-line wind storms; they are state-level hazards, not city incident claims.

• flooding

  Massachusetts flood risk includes coastal surge, nor'easter rain, urban drainage, and basement flooding in older dense neighborhoods.

• freezes and winter cold snaps

  Massachusetts has prolonged freeze risk, coastal wind chill, ice dams, and older boiler or steam systems that can leak after shutdowns.

• hurricanes / coastal tropical storms

  Massachusetts coastal storms can drive surge into Cape Cod, the Islands, Boston Harbor, and South Coast communities, then leave inland tree and basement damage.

• straight-line wind storms

  Massachusetts non-hurricane wind risk comes from nor'easters, coastal lows, winter storms, and saturated soils that allow trees to fall.
