its inhabitants, and it reports an increase in weather -related disasters with every rise in
temperature level; and
Whereas, Florida and its 825 miles of shoreline and low elevation points of 100ft above

and themselves; and

climate and participate in the various programs during Florida Climate Week that will
present and discuss solutions by visiting Florida Climate Week.
