Support Community Resilience <br />As extreme weather events become more common, local governments in all geographic <br />and climatic regions are looking for resources to assist them in anticipating, preparing <br />for and adapting to these events. NLC urges Congress and the Administration to help <br />local governments conduct vulnerability assessments, and develop and implement <br />adaptation and resilience action plans. This includes passing the STRONG Act <br />(Strengthening the Resiliency of our Nation on the Ground). Cities need stronger federal <br />support to leverage resources most effectively, learn from and act on the latest <br />information available on climate change and find ways to partner with regional and state <br />agencies that encourage smart planning. <br />5 <br />Amended by City Council on 4/15/2014 <br />
