33rd Environmental Permitting Summer School

This session will provide an overview of policies and regulations that link disaster management and climate issues.  The presentation will explore these linkages as well as room for improvement in them.  With major storms impacting Florida over the last two years, agency orders are also a policy implication to be considered, both in short term response and long term planning factors.  Case studies will be presented that harmonize the concepts of planning for, or responding to, disasters and incorporating aspects of future resiliency into projects.  Finally, the session will also explore an important relationship with funding mechanisms, some of which provide dual benefits in the disaster mitigation and recovery realm as well as flexibility to add components that address future resiliency.
