As a communications professional, I had the opportunity to hear Duluth Mayor Don Ness speak to the Minnesota Association of Government Communicators at our Fall Conference in 2013. Don was speaking about handling crisis communications for the 2012 flood. The photos and the stories he shared about the City of Duluth’s aging infrastructure really made me think about the aging infrastructure throughout our state and our country. Attached is a link to an article from MPRs series on climate change in Minnesota that shows how infrastructure is being affected in our state:
