WHAT THIS document IS . . .

• A collection of approaches that have been used
by communities and countries around the
world to increase their resilience
  1. Specifically to address the following hazards:
flooding, storm surge, intense rainfall,
strong winds and debris
  2. Generally to increase non-hazard specific
resilience through – redundancy, learning,
community preparedness and emergency
response capacity

• Approaches are categorized according to seven
management measures and a systemic-resilience
category: (i) conserve, enhance, and restore; (ii) resilient construction; (iii) structural defenses; (iv) land-use planning and regulation; (v) market-based methods; (vi) social elements; and (vii) systemic resilience

• For each approach, we include a description, sample geographies, benefits, estimated cost (either per unit or for a specific project), minimum scale where applicable, and an estimated timeline to implement
