The best way to prepare for a future disaster is to adopt best resiliency practices now. The resiliency toolbox is diverse and includes engineering tools, nature-based systems, and hybrid solutions to address the uncertainty of climate change in a logical, flexible way. Using case studies from coastal communities, this webinar will demonstrate how you can assess climate vulnerability and apply resilient methods for flood mitigation.
