This is a new collection of
information. NOAA’s Office of Coastal Management (OCM) and its
regional, state, federal, and non-profit partners have worked
closely with coastal managers across the country to increase the
resilience of our coastal communities, economies and ecosystems.
Per the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), OCM provides
financial and technical assistance to states and territories,
including that which helps its customers (coastal managers) develop
hazard mitigation and climate adaptation plans that include
strategies for short-term responses to immediate threats (e.g.,
flooding, hurricanes) as well as long-term responses to gradual
changes (e.g., sea level rise, drought). Services are provided
through outreach, training, funding, resource, and tool
development. In many coastal communities, investment in mitigation
and resilience measures remains either limited or reactive in
response to a catastrophic event. While there are no data on the
number of adaptation plans that have been implemented, lack of
funding is a frequently cited barrier to implementation.
Understanding the suite of funding and financing options available
at the time resilience planning is undertaken, and then
incorporating financial strategies into the planning process and
recommendations, will help ensure that these plans are
implemented.
