Briefings

John Englander, best selling author of High Tide on Main Street, will expand upon his keynote presentation “Rising Seas: Planning for the New Era” at the 2014 Decision Makers Conference with a special Seminar on “Sea  Level Rise Realities and Risk”.  John will explain the surprising facts about how rising seas, severe storms and  extreme tides are combining for devastating effects on coastal communities, infrastructure and businesses.
