When it comes to water and land use, planners know when you plan for one, you must plan for the other. In communities across the U.S., water managers and planners are emerging from the silos they've traditionally operated in to find new ways to tackle climate change impacts together. Learn how you can take steps to integrate land and water in your community to help mitigate droughts and flooding and improve water access and quality. |

Drought
A planner's guide to drought and cascading impacts
Studies show that persistent droughts are lasting longer, covering more area, and are more intense than they were in the last century. Droughts also have potential to exacerbate other hazards, making them a top priority for local planning. Learn how you can influence land-use patterns to help your community address droughts and guide how development occurs. This and other PAS resources are free to APA members. |

Development Codes
Addressing "precipitation whiplash"
Development codes can unintentionally exacerbate the impacts of water-related hazards such as flood and drought by encouraging gray infrastructure development. Without code revisions, these impacts are expected to worsen. This issue of Zoning Practice explores strategies and code revisions to help address the challenges of extreme precipitation events and prevent cascading hazards in our communities.
