Inland Flooding: Rising Above Rising Waters

What weather and water level conditions are associated with inland flooding in our community? What areas are most vulnerable and critical to our community?

Why this matters

Maine is getting wetter faster than much of the rest of the country, and Oxford County is getting wetter faster than most other parts of Maine. Communities are already experiencing the impacts of extreme weather. The purpose of this project is to engage community members in monitoring flood prone sites and to document flood impacts and stories of how communities are coming together to address increasing flood challenges.
