PLANNING/ENGINEERING: The Jackson County Resiliency plan would recommend ways to protect the functionality of these important facilities as well as limit and reduce shoreline erosion. The plan would also explore other aspects of Jackson County, besides shoreline issues, to identify vulnerabilities, define acceptable levels of risk, and recommend strategies to mitigate these risks. Below are specific tasks and details for how the Jackson County Resiliency Plan will be completed: · Establish Community Engagement Plan by identifying stakeholder groups to ensure broad public engagement throughout the planning process. · Collection of data on the changing climate conditions in Jackson County. · Determine how these changing conditions match with Jackson County’s current planning documents and offer ways to align both. · Identify and prioritize acute shocks and chronic stressors to Jackson County and develop strategies to address them. · An asset review will be conducted to identify levels of priority from categories like natural resources; infrastructure; land use, development, and housing; ecology; economy and jobs; neighborhoods, communities, and cultural resources; and government systems and operations. · Qualitatively assess potential risks and vulnerabilities of each of these categories. · Define levels of acceptable risk for each category. · Review and understand current strategic plans, policies, and programs and assess current approaches to resilience and risk mitigation to determine if they meet or exceed the agreed-upon acceptable risk level and, if needed, present options for improvements. · Develop Resilience Plan that incorporates actionable strategies and a guide to achieve the established goals with the following components: o Problem Statement: Critical background data and decision context for the plan that will serve as a foundational briefing document to support development of the plan. o Objective: Capture the social, ecological, institutional, and economic aspects of resilience across the range of shocks and stressors identified in the Resilience Assessment. These clearly defined and measurable objectives will provide the foundation for developing, analyzing, and prioritizing strategies and communicating those priorities clearly to stakeholders and the public.
