Sherborn is participating in a regional effort to create a model of potential flooding within the Charles River Watershed as the impacts of climate change result in larger storm events. FEMA flood maps illustrate historic flood data, while the purpose of the model is to identify areas that may flood as a result of future precipitation events. The Charles River Watershed Association is spearheading the effort using a consultant to develop the model.
Public input is an important component of this project. The first public workshop was held on December 10, 2020, and a webinar was held on January 28, both on Zoom. More public participation events are planned, including a second workshop and meetings focusing on the middle watershed (of which Sherborn is a part) and the upper watershed.
