HAZARD RESILIENCE IN COASTAL COMMUNITIES

Sea level rise, the increasing number and intensity of coastal storms, the ongoing threat of oil spills, and other natural and human hazards are putting more people and property at risk along Louisiana’s coast, with major implications for human safety and the economic and environmental health of coastal areas. It is essential that residents of coastal communities understand these risks and learn what they can do both to reduce their vulnerability and to respond quickly and effectively when destructive events occur. Louisiana Sea Grant uses its integrated research, training and technical assistance capabilities and its presence in coastal communities to play a role in helping local citizens, decision-makers and industries plan for hazardous events and optimize the ability of their communities to respond to and rebuild after a disaster.
