| Description: | Direct, Hands-On Support. The project will provide direct planning support to selected communities, chosen though an application process. Planning services will focus on resilience, green infrastructure, and hazard mitigation to help them move projects from idea to implementation. Communities will be selected through a call for applications and will be expected to provide a match of in-kind professional support. The Project Team will identify and assist a Demonstration Project to serve as a model and instructional resource. 2. Training to Promote Resiliency. The Project Team will provide training to Harvey-impacted communities in the use of natural infrastructure for recreation and hazard mitigation. Project staff will host informational webinars and/or in-person training events in communities throughout the impacted area. 3. Information and Resource Sharing. The Project Team will develop a casebook highlighting successful examples and best practices for using green infrastructure to mitigate risk and provide recreational and environmental benefits (printed report and/or interactive, online database). The casebook will detail relevant resources and case studies, including project specifics, partners, timelines, and innovative approaches for each case, similar to the RTCA-developed Floods, Floodplains, and Folks casebook published in 1996 (https://issuu.com/nhnnok/docs/floods__floodplains__and_folks_2). |
