This is a request for extension of an
approved information collection. 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.
