Program Objectives: Address barriers to coastal resilience at the local level Assist communities with risk & vulnerability assessments Help communities develop portfolio of well-planned andprioritized projects Advance priority projects to “shovel-ready” status Link communities to funding streams for projectimplementation.
Guiding Principles Increase local capacity and capability for resilienceplanning and implementation Incentivize a data and community-driven process Provide tools to support vulnerable populations Reduce costs to communities Meet communities where they are
