Coastal Community Resilience Team
Communities that prepare for short and long-term coastal impacts and consider hazard risks in planning are able to recover from disasters more quickly.
The Gulf of Mexico Alliance Coastal Community Resilience Team develops strategies and tools that improve access to resources and actively engage diverse perspectives. Actions are focused on the regional ability to respond to natural and man-made hazards, including risk communication techniques and resilience assessments as well as a variety of coastal adaptation and planning methods.
Learn more about the Team’s focus areas and actions in the Governors’ Action Plan for Healthy and Resilient Coasts.
