    Tallahassee Community Resilience Plan

    The development of this plan followed the process identified in the US Climate Resilience Toolkit, which integrates community engagement with a data driven approach to assessing and addressing vulnerabilities. Resilience is about making a city stronger, in both good times and bad, for the benefit of all its citizens, beginning with the most vulnerable.

    Options Used

    Train staff on Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and incentivize its implementation in new design and development. Evaluate and revise land use and zoning codes to mitigate development patterns that concentrate poverty. Provide budget billing and deferred payment plans for families impacted by extreme events.

    Relevant Options

    Work with utility companies to increase energy sources that do not depend on water. Maintain hydroelectric generating capacity, if possible. If not possible, switch to pumped storage hydropower or deconstruction to allow for river restoration efforts.
