Food for thought...the article focuses on the Houston area, but the broader topics are applicable for communities across the country.

When , I'm big on making things measurable. Michael Wilkinson's guidance to use INFINITE verbs for goals, QUANTITY verbs for objectives, and FINITE verbs for projects has been helpful for not just strategic planning, but also planning.

It may sound like semantics, but really working w/ stakeholders to be selective about the wording in action plans has increased buy-in, understanding, and likely implementation.

Kudos for looking at as part of a larger infrastructure, and I'm very glad to see an emphasis on nature-based solutions.

But phases like "...bend it (water) our will" concern me.

There’s a lot of talk about Seattle’s earthquake risk as Turkey endures disaster. We have a non-zero chance of a major quake in our lifetime in this part of the country. We also have a volunteer network working VERY hard to train people to help each other stay informed and safe when it hits. Meet the Seattle Hub Network: crosscut.com/environment/2021/

As more cities face existential floods, they'll have to hustle to build defenses before waters rush in.

But the mere threat of future flooding can destroy them financially before they ever get the chance to build infrastructure.

For Oregon, it's hotter, drier summers and wetter, colder winters; more high wind events; impacts on agriculture and forestry; with greater impacts on indigenous, vulnerable, and marginalized communities in the coming years and decades. We need to adapt now while making serious efforts to change the fossil fuel and extractive industries--the worst contributors to climate change.

I'm a believer in . Here's a nice, compact resource to make sense of the mitigation planning process. The worksheets section can be particularly helpful.

Beyond the Basics is the result of a five-year study from the Coastal Hazards Center and the Center for Sustainable Community Design. Put research into practice!
