New Publication by Natural Hazard Mitigation Association - A Great Cross-Disciplinary Resource
The Natural Hazard Mitigation Association has recently published a new summary paper called, "Planning and Building Livable, Safe & Sustainable Communities - The Patchwork Quilt Approach." The paper can be Downloaded Here. One of the primary authors was our 2011 annual conference keynote speaker, Terri Turner, AICP, CFM. Much like her presentations this June, the paper is comprehensive and lively. It provides a wealth of information and resources for the planner, lawyer, resource agency, municipal official and floodplain and stormwater professional. The paper presents great talking points about the value of taking a comprehensive approach to floodplain and stormwater management rather than a reactionary response to disasters. Maybe you are involved with one particular program, but don't know where it fits within the "patchwork quilt" and want to learn more. You will find this paper very useful.
