These events included a drought, two floods, 19 severe storms, a tropical cyclone, a wildfire, and a winter storm. Overall,  these events resulted in the deaths of 464 people and had significant economic impacts."

This plan must include an "all of society" approach that all stakeholders segments including i) residents, ii) community based organizations, iii) community facilities (e.g., health care,  schools), iv) local governments, V) private sector and Vijuniversities.  II. DEP must address the increasing environmental and public health impacts from climate risks on communities from contaminated sites facility that manage, or store hazardous materials. DEP should coordinate with USEPA on this approach. III. DEP must address the increasing vulnerability of facilities producing or using chemical from climate risks such as flooding.  USEPA - in its Risk Management Plan Rule - has identified this risk.  IV. With respect to the DEP's priority to help low-income households cope with an increased energy burden, DEP should partner with other Commonwealth Agencies, Federal Agencies (such as US Department of Energy) and local organizations engaged in efforts with low income households that are addressing energy burdens such as the Energy Coordinating Agency.
