This session will use presentations and hands-on exercises to introduce attendees to and engage them with field-tested, actionable methods and strategies that jurisdictional staff, technical design and planning consultants, and funding organizations can use to support resource-limited communities in achieving their disaster recovery and/or resilience-building goals.

Learning Outcomes:

Understand methods of providing technical assistance to community partners through a commitment to long-term partnerships and “community-scale” benefits.
Acquire knowledge of federal hazard mitigation program requirements and associated funding opportunities.
Learn how landscape architecture and planning services can support state- and local-level disaster recovery programs and staff.
Apply and evaluate strategies for scoping and scaling community projects to protect the health, safety, and well-being of people, property, and the environment.
Assess the effectiveness of common flood mitigation techniques.
Gain exposure to alternative project funding and phasing techniques to “link-and-leverage” investments being made in capacity-constrained communities.
