Gap Analysis: Identify priority data, information, and capacity gaps
Objective: Conduct a gap analysis for at least 50 communities to reduce current and future risks associated with extreme weather and climate hazard events. Address the natural, built, socioeconomic and human health systems of Gulf Coast communities in the analysis.
Tools: Enhance or adapt tools being used or those identified for use
Objective: Update the existing Homeowners Handbooks to inform personal science-based decisions. Updates should support regional efforts to create more resilient coastal communities and economies.
Community Small Grants: Implement community projects that incentivize approaches that reduce risk and increase resilience
Objective: Implement a small-grant program for coastal communities around the Gulf of Mexico to develop and/or implement resilient practices.

Climate and Resilience Community of Practice (CoP): Develop information and approaches needed for improved risk communication, and the necessary tools, technical assistance and training tailored toward enhanced resilience to weather events, climate hazards, and changing ocean conditions
Objective: Form a Resilience Community of Practice (RCoP) and invite the gap analysis communities, the existing GOMA small-grant communities (supported through a separate funding opportunity), the new small grant communities, and members of the GOMA Resilience and Habitat Teams. They will meet annually to share enhancement strategies and share lessons learned. Incorporate the Gulf Sea Grant Climate Community of Practice agenda items into the RCoP so that a holistic approach is available to communities.
Resilience Roadmap: Develop a roadmap that will identify tools and services based on community needs and will provide sequencing strategies for building resilience to those communities.
Objective: Develop a Coastal Resilience Roadmap that can be used by communities and organizations who work to assist communities to become more resilient and increase their capacity to recover from adverse weather events or on-going climate hazards.
