Plans provide visions for the future and the structure for making that future possible. For climate and hazard resilience, it's important that resiliency isn't undermined by inconsistency in community plans. The new PAS Memo reports on research showing how planners can use the Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard to improve community resilience and reduce vulnerability to hazards and climate change.
This PAS Memo is made available to all thanks to a partnership with the University of North Carolina's Coastal Resilience Center and financial support from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. |
