Accelerating resiliency planning in communities across the Commonwealth
Tree Equity Alliance is a coalition to create a unified voice on the critical need for equitable tree canopy.
Our 2023 Conference delivered tools, information, and networking opportunities for Virginia’s resiliency leaders and professionals.
US EPA maintains a website that focuses on essential information for coastal communities planning for the effects of climate change.
EcoAdapt conducted a survey with the Strong, Prosperous, and Resilient Communities Challenge to determine if and how people working to address displacement pressures are considering the effects of climate change. This survey is part of a broader project in collaboration with the Urban Displacement Project to better understand the intersections between climate change and displacement pressures.
Managed retreat is the coordinated process of voluntarily and equitably relocating people, structures, and infrastructure away from vulnerable coastal areas in response to episodic or chronic threats to facilitate the transition of individual people, communities, and ecosystems (both species and habitats) inland.
The Georgetown Climate Center maintains the Equitable Adaptation Legal & Policy Toolkit, which highlights best and emerging practice examples of how cities are addressing disproportionate socioeconomic risk to climate impacts and engaging overburdened communities.
The Climate Resilience Implementation Guide provides step-by-step instructions to assist communities in implementing nature-based solutions. Grantees are encouraged to use this Guide for suggestions on how to effectively use Community Planning and Development (CPD)-funded programs and other resources to design and implement nature-based solutions.
Natural infrastructure is the focus of this NOAA Office for Coastal Management Digital Coast website, where you’ll find numerous online and in-person training guides.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineering With Nature® (EWN) Initiative enables more sustainable delivery of economic, social, and environmental benefits associated with infrastructure.
The potential for disaster increases as communities expand into hazard-prone areas and climate change alters the frequency, severity, and locations of threats. The disaster-resilient designs showcased in this document can help communities reduce the impact of disasters, recover more quickly, strengthen local economies, and create safer, more equitable places to live by reducing hazards especially for those most vulnerable.
This guidance document is intended for stakeholders pursuing FEMA HMA grants for nature-based solutions to mitigate risks associated with flooding (riverine and coastal) and wildfire. Many of the HMA grant programs can fund projects that mitigate other hazards, but this document is limited in discussion to flooding and wildfire.
