The Kitsap County and City of Bremerton shouldconsider adaptation strategies to mitigate future sea level rise impacts within the Gorst UGA. The Center forScience in the Earth Systems developed an adaptation guidebook for local, regional, and state governments to usewhile preparing for impacts associated with climate change (CSES 2007). Guidebook planning recommendationsfor local jurisdictions include:• Building a climate change preparedness team• Identifying planning areas relevant to climate change• Conducting a climate change vulnerability assessment• Conducting a climate change risk assessmentDraft | June 2013 3-52
