The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently released a report, Achieving Hazard-Resilient Coastal & Waterfront Smart Growth, that is designed to present an overview of ideas shared by smart growth and hazard mitigation experts at an August 2011 roundtable. The roundtable participants focused on how coastal and waterfront communities can create environmentally and economically sustainable neighborhoods while minimizing risks from coastal flooding. The report also provides ideas for further research, tools, services, and approaches that federal and state agencies, academics, organizations, and practitioners could consider to improve integration of smart growth and hazard mitigation approaches along the coast.
