波士顿市海滨高层启用 2,000 万美元可部署防洪屏障
波士顿市长 Michelle Wu 本周与市中心海滨 Harbor Towers 住户一起，为该物业 2,000 万美元的防洪项目剪彩。项目安装可在风暴来临前快速展开的防洪屏障，保护这座已有 54 年历史的高层建筑的地下与关键设施。剪彩是波士顿全市 Deployables Day 的一部分，集中展示公私建筑的可部署防洪设备。
2018 年两场大风暴曾让洪水逼近建筑数英寸，成为住户推动改造的转折点。市府表示，全市四个最大的公共空间和 11 处私人物业已配备可部署屏障；随着海平面上升和极端天气增多，波士顿将继续把沿海韧性项目从规划推向实施。（资料来源：波士顿市政府）
Boston Waterfront Towers Cut Ribbon on $20 Million Deployable Flood Barriers
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu joined residents of Harbor Towers this week to cut the ribbon on the downtown waterfront property's $20 million flood-resilience project. The work installs deployable flood barriers that can be put in place ahead of storms to protect the 54-year-old high-rise's below-grade and critical infrastructure. The ceremony was part of Deployables Day, Boston's citywide showcase of public and private deployable flood protection.
Two major 2018 storms that brought floodwater within inches of the building pushed residents to act. City officials said four of Boston's largest public spaces and 11 private properties now have deployables in place, and the city will keep moving coastal resilience projects from plans into construction as sea levels rise and extreme weather intensifies.
