and on March 31, 2023. OPR awarded a grant to fund the project described in the
Application, subject to any conditions contained within the Award Letter (Exhibit F).
This project, described in the Application and Award Letter, will be referred to as the
"Project" throughout this Grant Agreement.
The Guidelines, the Application, and the Award Letter are hereby incorporated into
this Agreement.
3. Grant Term

Exhibit C, General Terms and Conditions
Office of Planning and Research - Adaptation Planning Grant Program - Round 1
Grant Number: OPRXXXXX, [GRANTEE]
Exhibit D, Special Terms and Conditions
1. Compliance with Laws and Regulations
By signing this Grant Agreement, Grantee certifies that it shall comply fully with all
applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, and permits and
shall secure any new permits required by authorities having jurisdiction over the
Project(s),and maintain all presently required permits.
Grantee is responsible for complying with all applicable requirements, if any, of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21000 et
seq.) for the Project are met. OPR's selection of a Project for a planning grant does
not foreclose appropriate consideration of alternatives or mitigation measures that
would reduce or eliminate adverse environmental effects of any project during the
CEQA review process. Nor does it foreclose the possibility that the project may be
denied due to its significant environmental effects, if any. No work that is subject to
CEQA may proceed until clearance is given by all lead and responsible agencies.
2. Subcontractors and Partners
OPR's contractual relationship is with Grantee, and not any of its Partners or
subcontractors. Grantee is entitled to make use of its own staff, Partners, and
subcontractors, as identified in the Budget Detail Worksheet (Attachment 4), and will
comply with its own competitive bidding and sole sourcing requirements for
subcontracts that arise out of or in connection with this Grant Agreement. Grantee
shall manage, monitor, and accept responsibility for the performance of its own
staff, Partners, and subcontractors, and will conduct Project activities and services
consistent with professional standards for the industry and type of work being
performed under this Grant Agreement.
Nothing contained in this Grant Agreement or otherwise shall create any
contractual relationship between OPR and any Partners or subcontractors, and no
subcontract shall relieve Grantee of its responsibilities and obligations hereunder.
Grantee agrees to be as fully responsible to OPR for the acts and omissions of
Partners and subcontractors and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by
any of them as it is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by
Grantee. Grantee's obligation to pay Partners and subcontractors is an
independent obligation from OPR's obligation to make payments to Grantee. As a
result, OPR shall have no obligation to pay or to enforce the payment of any
moneys to any Partner or subcontractor.
3. No Third -Party Beneficiaries
This Grant Agreement is not intended for the benefit of any person or entity other
than the Parties, and no one other than the Parties themselves may enforce any of
the rights or obligations created by this Grant Agreement.
4. Project Monitoring and Oversight
Project monitoring and oversight is essential to ensure the Project stays within scope
and is completed on schedule and within budget in accordance with this Grant
Agreement. It is the responsibility of the Grantee to monitor the Project to ensure
that it is completed in accordance with this Grant Agreement.

Grantee shall continue to meet its responsibilities and obligations under the
terms of this Grant Agreement.
iii. If Grantee contests the decision made by the Grant Manager, Grantee shall
submit a written "Notice of Dispute" on official letterhead, according to
Subsection C below.
B. General Disputes

A. Long -Form Materials: Long -form written materials, such as reports, must include
the following standard language about OPR, APGP, and the Integrated Climate
Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP):
As communities in California experience more frequent, prolonged, and severe
impacts from climate change, communities and governments at all scales are
developing strategies and implementing actions to build a climate- resilient
future. However, many jurisdictions, especially under-resourced communities in
California, lack the capacity, tools, guidance, and resources to effectively
prepare for climate impacts.
The APGP addresses this capacity gap by providing funding to help fill planning
needs, providing communities with the resources to identify climate resilience
priorities, and supporting the development of climate resilience projects across
the state. The APGP enables communities to climate risk and adaptation
considerations into planning activities and prepare for climate readiness and
resilience in the long term.
• The APGP is an initiative of the Integrated Climate Adaptation and
Resiliency Program (ICARP) housed within the Governor's Office of Planning
and Research. ICARP advances statewide climate adaptation and resilience
by coordinating investments, partnerships and climate science to ensure
people, natural systems, and the built environment are protected, prepared,
and thrive in the face of climate change.
• Through direct and equity -focused investments and resources, ICARP
helps build climate adapted and equitable communities in California, with a
focus on solutions that both address the impacts of climate change and
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ICARP works to advance these priorities
across all levels of government by developing actionable science and
research; providing guidance, tools, and technical assistance; and
administering climate resilience -focused grant programs.

A. Press Releases, Flyers, and Visual Materials: Any informational materials that do
not qualify as long -form, but that include at least a paragraph of text, such as
press releases, media advisories, short case studies, flyers, etc., must include
either of the following messages:
Long version:
"[Project Name] is supported by the Adaptation Planning Grant Program at

General Narrative Questions
Applicant Information
Proposed Project Name: San Rafael Climate Adaptation Planning Collaborative
Lead Applicant: City of San Rafael, California
Project Vision & Priorities
The Canal is a vibrant community of more than 12,000 residents from all over the world; however, it is
one of the most vulnerable to climate change in the entire state. The Canal is built upon subsiding
reclaimed land that is already lower than today's high tides. The shoreline is a discontinuous network of
public and private assets, which the Army Corps noted was inadequate for flood protection. As sea levels
rise, it is becoming more exposed and was identified as the most vulnerable zone in the Bay area to
short-term sea level rise (SLR).
According to FEMA, it is more vulnerable than 99% of census tracts in the nation. It is also the most
segregated Latino neighborhood in the Bay area, and residents in one tract are more housing burdened
than in 99% of other tracts in California.
This project will work with disproportionately vulnerable residents to co -create solutions to build a safer,
more resilient community. This project proposes to build on an exciting partnership between the City of
San Rafael, the County, the Canal Alliance, the Multicultural Center of Morin, and UC Berkeley. The
partners would work collaboratively and with community members to improve the understanding of
climate hazards using the most current science and prioritize adaptation measures that will address the
community's short-term needs and minimize risks to housing and safety. This effort would lay a strong
foundation for long-term resilience by building climate capacity at community -based organizations and
directly connecting Canal students with STEM educational opportunities.
Community Need & Adaptive Capacity
The Canal neighborhood in San Rafael is a frontline community facing disproportionate impacts of
flooding due to climate change. The Canal is the most densely populated area in the County, and more
than two-thirds of all occupied housing units meet the Census definition of "overcrowded." The
neighborhood is home to more than 12,000 people, who are predominantly cost -burdened renters.
Within one census tract, 91% of housing units are renter -occupied.
Despite relatively high employment rates, nearly one-third of Canal residents live below the federal
poverty line. More than half of residents over 25 do not have a high school diploma. Median per capita
income is about one -quarter the citywide average and is a designated low-income community according
to the California Climate Investments Priority Populations 2022 CES 4.0. The Canal is the most
segregated Latino neighborhood in the Bay Area and segregation has worsened over the past decade. In
the Canal, more than 90% of residents are of Hispanic/Latino origin and are underrepresented in local
and regional government.

Exhibit G, Grant Application
Office of Planning and Research - Adaptation Planning Grant Program - Round 1
Grant Number: OPRXXXXX, [GRANTEE]
This proposal was developed in partnership with two community -based organizations, Canal Alliance and
the Multicultural Center of Morin. They will continue to guide the adaptation planning to ensure it is
serving community priorities.
Much of San Rafael is already below today's high tides. As a result, the entire Canal area would be below
sea levels anticipated by just 2040. Without action, one-third of the city's population and two-thirds of its
economic base would be permanently inundated by the end of the century.
The Canal is built upon partially reclaimed land, which is subsiding. While much of the land is lower than
the Bay it is currently insulated from regular tidal flooding due to a discontinuous system of uncertified
levees, pump stations, private lawns, driveways, and seawalls. However, this infrastructure will not
provide meaningful protection in the face of a storm nor climate change. A report from the Army Corps in
1990 concluded that,
"existing flood control facilities were constructed in a piecemeal manner over a period of decades... the
overall system provides only a low level of protection which is inadequate for a densely urbanized area.
This same report identified the risk of possible levee failure due to overtopping. Today, water levels are
higher, and failure could have potentially catastrophic impacts due to the high population density, the
number of ground -level apartments, and limited evacuation routes. These risks are compounded by high
groundwater, rainfall intensification, and risks of tsunamis and seismic impacts due to the construction
on fill and presence of soft -story structures.
While the climate impacts are extensive, residents face even more urgent issues due to escalating
housing costs, overcrowding, and the real threat of displacement from one of the only affordable areas
in the region. Climate change is significantly increasing the risk of displacement within this generation.
Many residents would not have the resources to recover after a disaster.
While previous studies identified the vulnerability, different information is needed to bridge the gap
between knowledge of the risks and making tangible investments to protect housing and infrastructure.
For example, studies have identified risks to the levees, fire stations, and healthcare facilities, but more
detail is needed to understand what the critical elevations and exposed components are for those
facilities. This project would complete a more detailed vulnerability assessment focused on short-term
life -safety risks and cascading impacts from infrastructure failures. This will include gathering
fundamental physical data on surface and ground water levels, salinity, hydrologic connectivity, levee
conditions, and geophysical conditions to better characterize climate hazards, timing, and impacts. This
will include a detailed assessment of the exposure, sensitivity, and potential impact of flooding on critical
infrastructure in the exposed area. This analysis would utilize the most current guidance on SLR that
incorporates the best -available science from the IPCC's 6th assessment. This phase will engage the
agencies responsible for critical infrastructure, including below -ground assets. A portion of this data
gathering will be done through a collaborative community science effort to build capacity and connect
Canal students with educational opportunities in STEM fields. Canal Alliance will facilitate participation
from students in their University Prep (UP!) program. This will create an opportunity for younger
students to work with Berkeley students and faculty. There will be an opportunity for one Canal student
Page 24
Exhibit G, Grant Application
Office of Planning and Research - Adaptation Planning Grant Program - Round 1
Grant Number: OPRXXXXX, [GRANTEE]
to have a year -long paid fellowship. in parallel, the Multicultural Center of Marin would lead community
engagement and participatory asset mapping, which will be incorporated into the vulnerability
assessment. Adaptation actions would then be prioritized based on those results and community input.
This effort would also advance adaptation policies recently integrated into the City's General Plan.
Co -Benefits
This collaborative team is focused on advancing social equity and resilience in a community at high risk
of displacement due to short-term housing insecurity and climate change. This project would build civic
engagement to transform the local decision -making dynamic by educating, empowering, and activating
residents to drive placemaking and planning projects that build climate resilience. To foster long-term
community resilience this project is also centered on youth engagement. The Canal Alliance's University
Prep (UP!) program supports Latino students from immigrant families to prepare for and complete
college and obtain career -path employment that pays livable and equitable wages. This project will
create educational opportunities for first -generation students and accelerate the success of immigrants.
This project will plant the seeds for long-term community resilience by connecting these students and a
year -long fellow with UC Berkeley students and faculty as well as with local government officials.
There are also significant environmental co -benefits for this project. Without action many critical
facilities, including wastewater pump stations, are at risk of damage or failure under current conditions.
As precipitation events intensify and sea levels rise the risk of failure of these facilities is increasing.
Infrastructure failure could lead to public health and water quality impacts. This project seeks to
proactively identify those risks. Additionally, the city has committed in its General Plan 2040 to "prioritize
natural and green infrastructure solutions" as part of its adaptation planning.
Community Partnership
This project proposes to model a deeply collaborative, community -led climate adaptation planning
process that inverts traditional planning processes and centers the community in decision -making. If
funded, this project would be completed by a cooperative project team with the following partners. The
City of San Rafael will oversee the grant administration and is responsible for implementation. The Canal
Alliance works with low-income Latino residents and community activists on political issues and non-
political actions that address public concerns, improve democracy, and promote quality of life in the
Canal neighborhood. The Canal Alliance creates civic spaces and leadership development opportunities
to ensure that low-income residents have a voice in decisions that affect them and the opportunity to
fully participate in democracy at all levels. The Canal Alliance would facilitate student participation in the
project, supervise a year -long student fellowship, and integrate community input into project policy
recommendations. The Multicultural Center of Marin provides culturally appropriate resources and
opportunities in a safe environment to empower and inspire diverse communities to build an inclusive
and equitable county they want to live in. Here the Multicultural Center would lead community
engagement and participatory asset mapping, which will be incorporated into the vulnerability
assessment. The University of California Berkeley, including Professor Dr. Mark Stacey, the Civil and
Environmental Engineering Department Chair, and Dr. Kristina Hill, the Program Director of the Institute
for Urban and Regional Development and Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture &
Environmental Planning and Urban Design, are experts in SLR adaptation and will advise on the technical
analysis and community science efforts and supervise students. Professors Hill and Stacey have been
Page 25
Exhibit G, Grant Application
Office of Planning and Research - Adaptation Planning Grant Program - Round 1
Grant Number: OPRXXXXX, [GRANTEE]
working for years at the forefront of coastal climate adaptation research. The Marin County Department
of Public Works leads the BoyWAVE program,, which coordinates all bayside cities and towns to help
communities understand and prepare for sea level rise. The County's multi jurisdictional coordination is
critical, as sea level rise crosses political boundaries and impacts shared resources, utilities, and
infrastructure.
This partnership is well positioned as the City, County, Canal Alliance, and Multicultural Center, are
currently collaborating on a climate project. These partners already have both formal and informal
working relationships in place that would allow this project to hit the ground running. The partners have
collaborated on several past projects, and staff bring years of professional experience on these issues to
bear. Another strength of this collaboration is the diversity of knowledge that each partner brings to the
table, including expertise in physical sciences, policy, housing, equitable and culturally relevant
community engagement, community resiliency, data, and mapping. Most importantly, the community -
based organizations, the Canal Alliance and the Multicultural Center of Morin, bring decades of
experience and relationships with this frontline community. This funding would help build professional
climate adaptation capacity at these two organizations. Building this capacity will help traditionally
under-resourced communities shape adaptation decisions and investments.
Workplan and Budget
The proposed budget is focused on four primary capacity -building strategies. These concurrently deepen
understanding of physical and community infrastructure to identify opportunities to strengthen
community resilience. The budget is directed toward (1) improving the fundamental science that is the
basis of adaptation decision -making, (2) analyzing the vulnerability of critical infrastructure and
community assets in partnership with residents, (3) evaluating and prioritizing adaptation actions to
bolster public health and safety, and (4) developing an actionable implementation plan.
To support this, a technical subcontractor will be used throughout, but primarily for tasks 1, 2, and 3 to
gather better information on surface water, groundwater, geotechnical data, critical elevations and
thresholds for infrastructure, and to analyze vulnerabilities and protective measures. This cost includes
consultant staff, monitoring equipment, and coordination with partners.
Across all activities, funding is explicitly structured to build long-term community capacity in the Canal at
the professional level, among students, and residents. All technical analysis is paired with community
participation. Resources are allocated to peer -to -peer learning, engagement, language access,
partnership development, and facilitating participation in meetings and decision -making processes. To
maximize community benefit, the requested funds would be directed toward partner staff time. Cost
estimates for staff time are based on actual salaries or currently negotiated rates and include benefits
and a COL adjustment. To facilitate learning and capacity building, a travel budget is included to
facilitate three Canal students' attendance at one relevant convening, such as the National Adaptation
Forum or equivalent.

jurisdictions, especially under-resourced communities in California, lack the capacity,
tools, guidance, and resources to effectively prepare for climate impacts.
The Adaptation Planning Grant Program addresses this capacity gap by
providing funding to help fill planning needs, providing communities with the
resources to identify climate resilience priorities, and supporting the
development of climate resilience projects across the state. The APGP enables
communities to climate risk and adaptation considerations into planning
activities and prepare for climate readiness and resilience in the long term.
The Adaptation Planning Grant Program is part of the Integrated Climate
Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP) housed within the Governor's Office
of Planning and Research. ICARP advances statewide climate adaptation and
resilience by coordinating investments, partnerships and climate science to
ensure people, natural systems, and the built environment are protected,
prepared, and thrive in the face of climate change.
Through direct and equity -focused investments and resources, ICARP helps build
climate adapted and equitable communities in California, with a focus on
solutions that address the impacts of climate change and reduce greenhouse
gas emissions. ICARP works to advance these priorities across all levels of
government by developing actionable science and research; providing
guidance, tools, and technical assistance; and administering climate resilience -
focused grant programs.

PRESS RELEASES, FLYERS, AND VISUAL MATERIALS
Any informational materials that do not qualify as long -form, but that include at least a
paragraph of text, such as press releases, media advisories, short case studies, flyers,
etc., must include either of the following messages:
Page 29
Exhibit H, APGP Communications Kit
Office of Planning and Research - Adaptation Planning Grant Program - Round 1
Grant Number: OPRXXXXX, [GRANTEE]
Long version:
"[Project Name] is supported by the Adaptation Planning Grant Program at the
Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR). The Adaptation Planning
Grant Program is an initiative of OPR's Integrated Climate Adaptation and
Resiliency Program (ICARP). ICARP advances climate adaptation and resilience
in California by coordinating investments, partnerships and climate science to
ensure people, natural systems, and the built environment are protected,
prepared, and thrive in the face of climate change.
Short version:
"[Project Name] is supported by the Adaptation Planning Grant Program
implemented by the Governor's Office of Planning and Research."
Mostly visual:
Grantee may at times produce promotional materials that are primarily visual in nature,
such as banners, signage, certain flyers, and sharable images for social media. In such
cases, when including the above boilerplate language acknowledging ICARP and OPR
support is not practical, Grantee should instead include the official OPR logo, preceded
by the words "Funded by."
MEDIA INQUIRIES
Grantee must provide to OPR the name, phone number, and email address of
Grantee's point of contact for all press inquiries and communications needs related to
the Project. Grantees must also distribute a press release after grant decisions are
presented during ICARP Technical Advisory Council (TAC) Meetings, and may be
requested to present before the TAC and release communications materials for other
major milestones throughout the lifecycle of the grant. All press releases must be
approved by the OPR Communications and External Affairs prior to distribution and OPR
must be alerted to all press events related to the grant. Please share draft press
releases with OPR for review 1 month in advance of when you'd like to post them by
emailing them to Brandon...
COMMUNICATIONS MATERIALS & PHOTOS
Grantee shall share between 8-12 high -resolution, color photos with OPR during the
Grant Term. These photos should include pictures of people involved with the Project,
the Project area, and/or activities conducted during the Grant Term. OPR reserves the
right to use these photos across its communications platforms.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Grantee is encouraged to use social media to share and inform the public of activities
under this Grant Agreement. Linkedln: @Governor's Office of Planning and Research
(OPR) @CaIOPR and #ICARP #climateadaptation #climateresilience should be tagged
on all posts related to the APGP grant. Use of the hashtags #CAresilience and #ICARP
and related variations is also encouraged.

Spread the Word
Here are a few effective ways to raise awareness around your important work. In every
case, we recommend a clear, concise writing style that avoids technical terms and is
easy for most readers to access. Be sure all of your communications comply with the
Publicity Requirements and Guidelines in this kit.
Create a Website
One of the best ways to share the latest information about the progress of your APGP
project is to compile everything the public needs to know into well -organized website.
Your website should be simple and inviting, with sections explaining who you are, what
the APGP program is, and why the project is important. Keeping the website updated
with your latest accomplishments and steps taken to achieve your goals will keep
members of your community enthusiastic and engaged. You can choose from dozens
of inexpensive website templates, such as Wix, Square Space, and WordPress.
Press Releases & Media Advisories
If you're interested in getting mentioned by your local news outlets (newspapers, web -
based news, radio, television), you've got to alert reporters, editors, hosts, news desks,
and producers in your local media market. Here are a couple ways to get their
attention (in both cases, include a contact name, title, phone number, and email at
the top):
Press release
This is a narrative piece that tells the reader a story. Your best bet is to write it in the style
of a story you'd read in the newspaper. Start with the most important part so that the
reader knows immediately what you want to tell them about. From there, add details to
flesh out the story (the amount of the grant, the number of supporting community
groups, total emissions reductions, etc.), along with quotes from people who are
engaged with your project -for example, representatives from partner organizations,
residents who engaged in project design, and OPR's Executive Director. Some media
outlets might publish your press release as is! Others will follow up with questions or to
interview someone.
Media advisory
This is a short piece you send to reporters, editors, hosts, news desks, and producers
when you want to invite them to attend and cover an event, such as a
groundbreaking, ribbon -cutting, dedication, etc. Make sure you answer the most
important questions (who/what/when/where/why/how) and emphasize what makes
your story worthy of media attention —as well as what photo opportunities will be
available at the event.
Social Media
Numerous social media platforms support digital storytelling and promotion. Use your
existing platforms to talk about your APGP project. We also encourage you to follow
OPR on Twitter and Linkedln so we can watch for and share your updates about your
APGP project. Please see our social media section of this kit for more details.
Page 31
Exhibit H, APGP Communications Kit
Office of Planning and Research - Adaptation Planning Grant Program - Round 1
Grant Number: OPRXXXXX, [GRANTEE]
Blog Post
If you or any of your partners currently has an active blog, we encourage you to write a
post highlighting the progress or impact of your APGP project. For example, ask a
project partner to write a guest blog or sit with you for a Q&A to highlight some of the
specific benefits of their programs, who is receiving those benefits, and how the
community has been involved. After you've posted your blog, you can share it on your
social media platforms!
Newsletter
If you or any of your APGP partners have a newsletter or listserv, please share your
award announcement and other important milestones through that platform.
Encourage community leaders and/or elected officials who work with you frequently to
announce APGP milestones through their newsletters or listservs as well. Please contact
us at OPR so we can share your important APGP milestones through our newsletter as
well!
Op -Ed or Letter to the Editor
Consider writing an op-ed or letter to the editor of your local newspaper to raise
awareness of your new APGP award and the benefits it will bring to your community. A
good approach is to acknowledge the various stakeholders involved in the planning
process, name the specific benefits this project will bring to members of your
community, and emphasize the place -based, community -driven approach to this
project using APGP's model. An op-ed is typically around 600 words (it depends on the
outlet) and you submit it to the Op -Ed Editor; it is best to reach out to this editor with an
outline for your piece and ask if they're interested in running a developed piece from
you. A letter -to -the -editor is short - usually under 200 words - and you just submit it
directly to the letters section of the outlet.
Events
Events with community members, leaders, and elected officials can be a draw for the
press, as well as for local residents, and are a great way to build excitement about your
APGP project.
Host Community Events
Organizing a fun kick-off meeting and other community events for stakeholders and the
general public is a great way to raise awareness about your APGP award and get more
people involved in the planning process. These kinds of events can help make sure
everyone is on the same page and united in your mission, as well as enthusiastic about
the tangible benefits your project will create.
Remember
The OPR team is here to help! We love to work with awardees to brainstorm
communication strategies. We can provide quotes from OPR leadership for your press
releases and make leadership available for media interviews. We can coach you on
how to pitch media, help you identify reporters, and help secure participation by State
officials in your event. Contact OPR's Deputy Director of External Affairs, Emily Breslin, for
support: errillv.breslin a oor.ca.clov.

Social Media
Social media offers an array of powerful, free platforms that enable you to
communicate about your APGP project to potentially large audiences.
• Follow us: The California Office of Planning & Research (@Cal_OPR) posts
frequently on Twitter about the State's efforts to improve our environment and
communities. OPR is also active on Linkedln. We encourage you and your APGP
partners to follow our accounts to stay up to date on the latest news on our
policies and programs. If we tweet about the APGP, or about anything else
relevant or interesting to you, please 'like' and retweet us —sometimes it can
even save you the trouble of crafting your own tweet.
• Tag us: We love seeing grantees' progress from vision to reality. Please post
updates and photos of project events or outcomes on social media, and make
sure to tag us so that we can like, comment, and retweet to share your hard
work with all of California.
• Tag Your Partners: Remember to include co -applicants and other key
stakeholders and champions in social media posts about your APGP award.
Tagging partners gives them the recognition they deserve while increasing the
audience for your post.
• Use Hashtags: Hashtags can be a very effective way to increase a post's visibility
and response rate. It is best to use a few relevant hashtags, like
#climateadaptation #climateresilience #CAresilience and #OPR.
• Take Pictures: A social post with a great image attached is bound to get more
traction than one without an image. Throughout every stage of the APGP
process, be sure to encourage your team to bring their phones or even a nice
camera and take a picture of their colleagues or work environment. Having a
photobank of pictures can work wonders on your social media accounts,
especially because you'll have the freedom to choose the highest quality or
most interesting photos. Please see the Photo Tips section of this kit for more
information.
• Shorten the Message: Given the character limit for tweets, you will need to pick
and choose what information to include. Incorporate hashtags and tagging
partners into your sentences, (see the sample posts below). Use commonly
known abbreviations and conjunctions.
• Amplify the Voices of Community Members: Reach out to partners and
community members for their videos, quotes, and pictures that share how your
APGP project will affect their lives. These stories can increase your social media
audience's enthusiasm for your project. Retweeting posts that residents and
stakeholders create is another way to demonstrate APGP's impact.
• Post Often: Interact with your audience as much as possible on all platforms. It is
ideal to post between a few times a week and once or twice a day on social
media. Brainstorm with your staff to come up with creative ways to keep the
public informed and interested in your work. Then create a schedule and remain
consistent.
• More Social Media Tips:
o Encourage audience engagement by posting questions.
o Use URL shortening tools from sites like bitly.com and tinyurl.com.

o Don't be afraid to use emojis.
o Encourage your colleagues and APGP partners to participate in social
media conversations.
o Be visual! Use infographics instead of text when possible.
o Observe copyright laws.

Photo Tips
Consider pointers in this section when using photography to tell your project's story.
Page 34
Exhibit H, APGP Communications Kit
Office of Planning and Research -Adaptation Planning Grant Program - Round 1
Grant Number: OPRXXXXX, [GRANTEE]
• Quality: Use the highest quality camera you can access. Good news: many
modern smart phones are usually sufficient, as long as your subject is in focus,
well -lit, and the phone is turned sideways (landscape orientation —use this
orientation for videos, too!). Photos on social media don't have to be as high
quality as photos on your website or newsletter.
• Everyone's a Photographer: Encourage your staff and partners to take photos
whenever they have the chance, and to send them all to your organization's
communications team. Designating someone who owns a nice camera to take
photographs during events is always a good practice.
• Don't Have a Great Photo?: Services like Flickr, Pixabay, and Upsplash offer
countless high -quality photos that you can download and use for free.
• Content: When possible, photos should be bright and colorful, without being too
'noisy,' blurry, or filtered. Candid photos of people working or interacting tend to
be more unique and eye-catching than people smiling at the camera. Highlight
interesting aspects of your project so your photo stands out.
• Remember: The picture is what draws people in to read the caption and learn
about your work. Don't underestimate its importance!

Project Name: San Rafael Climate Adaptation Planning Collaborative
The City of San Rafael, the Canal Alliance, the Multicultural Center of Marin, UC Berkeley and Marin County will work together to
address climate change impacts threatening the densely populated, low-lying Canal District. The project will include a rigorous
vulnerability assessment, gathering fundamental physical data, community science, and participatory community asset mapping.
This will result in a prioritization of adaptation actions to address the risks most important to the community.

Task 2: Vulnerability assessment including community asset mapping
This task would gather essential information on the
exposure, sensitivity, and consequence of a flooding -
induced failure of critical facilities and infrastructure. This
would focus on assets with the most significant risks to life
and safety, such as levees, evacuation routes, water
infrastructure, the community center, health facifities,
emergency response facilities, underground infrastructure,
and others. This work includes updating GIS data,
modeling and mapping, interviews with asset
owners/managers, and on -the -ground site assessments to
identify critical thresholds and the potential consequences
of cascading infrastructure failures. As one example, the
wastewater lift station that conveys the majority of
wastewater for east San Rafael is located right on the bank
of the canal. Based on its ground elevation, flood waters
would be expected to be several feet However, there are
substantial knowledge gaps, including the critical threshold
elevations, consequences of failure, and adaptive capacity.
This analytical phase would address these gaps and would
explore the implications of compounding hazards (i.e., sea
level rise, increasing groundwater levels, subsidence, and
more intense rain events, which increase the potential for
saltwater intrusion, corrosion, liquefaction, and other
impacts to infrastructure). This phase will focus on working
