What's the most compassionate - and effective - way to prepare a community for adapting to climate change?

I keep a Weblog called Climate Frog, where I track news and science about changing climate and how people are responding to it on a local basis. I'm working on building a service called AdaptLocal that will advise local planners, policy makers and activists on making the most effective use of the Internet to inform, lead and mobilize citizens in preparing to adapt to the changes most likely to affect their area.

Adaptation...it's like preparing to travel when you're staying put.


This is where I live. We are already adapting to wildfire risk and earthslides on and around the mountain. We may have to adapt to changing seasonality, hotter or colder extremes and sea level rise. How about you?
