After a warm winter and dry spring, the Governors of Oregon and Washington have declared drought in parts of both states. There will be severe water shortages across the region, but the largest cities of Seattle and Portland expect to have sufficient water supply for the summer and beyond.
Our first webinar will feature a brief climate update and speakers from Seattle Public Utilities and Portland Water Bureau, who will talk about the summer of 2015 from the perspective of their water utility and how this year’s conditions relate to future climate change in the region.
Speakers:
Kathie Dello, Deputy Director, Oregon Climate Service
James Rufo-Hill, Climate Adaptation Specialist, Seattle Public Utilities
Kavita Heyn, Climate Science & Sustainability Coordinator, Portland Water Bureau
