In collaboration with Michigan's Coastal Management Program, LIAA can help enhance coastal and community-wide resilience. Services can include any manner of municipal planning processes that have a direct impact on community resilience, from a baseline sustainability assessment to working with master plans, zoning ordinances, hazard mitigation plans, waterfront and harbor plans, transportation plans, downtown plans, brownfield redevelopment, or other activities intended to improve coastal resilience.
LIAA has compiled a reference library for coastal resilience zoning using 5 key measures.
Planning for Resilient Communities is a community engagement and technical services program developed by LIAA with numerous statewide partners. The program is helping citizens, local leaders and public officials plan communities that are more resilient to global challenges such as climate variability, extreme weather events and economic challenges.
