For your city, this means planning that considers our unique character while strengthening the ability to bounce back from events like floods, economic shifts, or growth pressures.

Resiliency isn't an add-on to our comprehensive plan—it's woven into every aspect of it.

Your specialized knowledge is invaluable to us. We're counting on your expertise to ensure our plan effectively addresses both today's needs and tomorrow's challenges. We're asking you to review:

• Resiliency Goals and Objectives

• Community Profile
• Growth Management Goals and Objectives

As you review each section, please keep these important questions in mind:

• Do our objectives address both immediate shocks and long-term stressors?
• Have we adequately considered social equity and vulnerable populations?
• Are there clear mechanisms for monitoring progress and adapting strategies as conditions change?
• Do the objectives promote cross-sector coordination and systems thinking?

Your thoughtful feedback will help shape a plan that preserves what makes the community special while building resilience for generations to come.
