Abstract | Specifically, this report identifies ways to strengthen and enhance community resilience through land use planning, recognizing that there are no one-sizefits- all solutions. This report begins by providing an overview of land use planning and its key elements – comprehensive planning, zoning, and building regulation. From there, land use management options for improving resilience are highlighted along with corresponding resources. Next, the report provides a discussion of incentives for improving the resilience of local land use planning. The report concludes with guidance for conducting an audit to initiate next steps. |
