Municipal responses to mitigate the harmful impacts of climate related weather events are integral to creating safe and resilient communities, and to forging a future for Michigan that is equitable, sustainable, and welcoming. The role of community planners – and their many partners – is an integral element of the myriad possible solutions. From stormwater and flood plain management and nature-based solutions, to planning for infrastructure resilience, multi layered approaches, with a variety of stakeholder partners and myriad professional disciplines - think planners, engineers, engagement experts, elected and appointed leaders, scientists and academics – will be necessary to fully address the challenges we face.
This year’s Michigan Association of Planning Spring Institute | Resilience Summit is offered in partnership with EGLE’s Coastal Management Program, and will deliver strategic solutions that, when implemented, will position municipal leaders with the tools they need to create truly resilient municipalities.
