Cambridge Affected Area: Energy & Resources

Constant preservation of energy and resources, especially during times of emergency triggered by climate change threats, is necessary to ensure public safety and security for the city. Besides ensuring constant access to the power grid and substantial back-up sources for necessary utilities like sensitive lab areas and nuclear reactor technologies, residents of urban communities like the city of Cambridge require consistent electricity access not only for comfort but for basic necessities of survival. Without ensuring protection for energy supplies, extreme weather and temperature conditions could put day-to-day operations at risk. To avoid reliance on protection of electric grid transport or availability of conventional energy sources during extreme climate events, self-sustainable renewables may provide consistent and reliable energy.
