11:15am - Alder Room (in Spanish with English interpretation)

This dynamic roundtable session aims to delve into the critical issues of combined flooding (with an emphasis on groundwater and sea level rise) and its impact on hundreds of active and closed contaminated sites in low-lying areas of San Mateo County. By bringing together experts, community leaders, and concerned citizens, we will explore the science behind groundwater rise, the health implications of contaminant exposure, and community efforts to address these pressing challenges. The session will be in Spanish, with English translation services available to ensure accessibility for all participants.
