Priorities and potential strategies
Strategic planning exercise by a working group from Néguac from fall 2019 to winter 2020.
Members of the working group : Adrien Robichaud, Gérard Robichaud, Philippe J. Breau, Pierre Godin.
Facilitation: Valores (Coastal Zones Research Institute)
Recommendations:
The areas to be given priority are the:
1) Hay Island
2) Neguac wharf
3) Residences of Néguac central sector.
4) The school sector
5) Haut-Néguac sector
6) Bas-Néguac sector
The main recommendations of the working group concern the communication to citizens of the risks of erosion and flooding and establish prevention protocols via individual emergency plans. The working group also recommends including an inconstructible setback zone delimited by the coastline projected for 2100 in the Neguac development plan, as well as an accommodation zone where construction would be permitted but under certain conditions . These recommendations, which constitute a preliminary selection of adaptation strategies, will be submitted to the public for opinion during the second phase of the project, before the final drafting of Néguac's adaptation plan to climate change is started.
