Document Monitoring & Updates Establishing an implementation and monitoring framework is essential to ensuring that this Climate Vulnerability Assessment (CVA) remains a living document that evolves with changing conditions, science, and community needs. This framework outlines how the Town of Aurora will monitor progress, integrate new information, and engage the community in re-evaluating climate risks and adaptation strategies. i. Next Steps After Plan Adoption Following adoption of the Comprehensive Plan along with this Climate Vulnerability Assessment, the Town of Aurora will: • Disseminate the plan to all relevant Town departments, boards, and community partners. • Assign departmental and/or board responsibility for each recommendation and initiate an implementation plan. • Identify staffing and technical support needs for implementation and monitoring activities. • Apply for state and federal grants to support the identified recommendations. • Begin outreach to residents and organizations in flood-prone and vulnerable areas, particularly repetitive loss properties. ii. Timeline for Reassessment The Climate Vulnerability Assessment will be formally re-evaluated on the following schedule: • Routine Reassessment: At least once every 10 years. • Triggered Reassessment: The Town will update the assessment prior to the 10-year mark if any of the following occurs: o A major flooding or extreme weather event that causes substantial damage or emergency response; o A significant update to New York State climate projections (i.e., ClimAID) o Complete of a Town Flood Vulnerability Study o Introduction of new floodplain maps, hazard models, or tools by FEMA or other relevant agencies; o A material shift in population demographics or community vulnerability (e.g., climate migration or the development of a new senior housing facility in a flood prone area). iii. Components of Each Update Each reassessment will: • Incorporate the latest regional climate science and projections. 129
