Climate Adaption and Mitigation - Planning or Assessment

Selected Strategy(ies)Explanatory Text
Updates to floodplain, coastal and wetland, and /or hazard mitigation plansUpdated plans should consider the impact of both current and projected climate-related conditions (e.g., sea level rise, proximity to a flood plain, and the frequency and severity of major storm events and droughts) on the long-term safety, stability and suitability of the proposed land reuses."
Evaluate Reuse options that are climate consciousDiscussion of observed and forecasted climate change conditions and the associated site-specific risk are part of any reuse considerations. Both current and forecasted climate changes may impact the effectiveness of a remedial alternative."
Identify potential risk factors and infrastructure or utility vulnerabilitiesIdentify potential risk factors and vulnerabilities resulting directly from the impacts of climate change." Possible risk factors and vulnerabilities may include proximity to the ocean, infrastructure vulnerabilities, property affected by a revised FEMA flood plain map, vulnerability related to changes in frequency and intensity of precipitation events, vulnerability of soil type due to moisture and hydraulic changes, and ground and surface drinking water vulnerabilities."
