Resiliency Planning
Resiliency is at the forefront of how we plan for a better tomorrow. We assess the impacts of proposed actions on the environment, social systems, and through the lens of financial viability. Our team stays abreast of the latest tools and research related to resiliency by actively taking part in related planning forums and undertaking various analyses to facilitate long term resiliency in our client communities. Using data from the federal Justice 40 Initiative, FEMA, EPA, NOAA, and other resources, we identify resiliency gaps and develop strategies to promote watershed protection, expand tree canopies, and enhance water, wastewater, and stormwater management systems, among other critical goals.
