Severe Weather and other natural disasters and manmade events have increased stressors to our economy, security, health, environment, and built infrastructure. Building on the regional approach of the Heartland 2060 vision, there are opportunities to support ongoing local efforts to prepare for and recover from these unexpected extreme events. Working together, we can create a more resilient Region. Join the Central Florida Regional Planning Council, Heartland 2060 partners, and Heartland Regional Resiliency Coalition members to discuss the Heartland Regional Resiliency Action Plan.This forum will focus on developing actionable strategies which aim to increase the ability of the Heartland Region to withstand and recover from events and stresses such as natural disasters, economic downturns, infrastructure failures, and threats to the security of the region.The Heartland Resiliency efforts include creating guidelines for the development of resilient communities, identifying “Best Practices,” and leveraging regional resilience efforts to enhance funding and increase competitiveness for securing grants, with the aim to:
Protect critical infrastructureBuild community resiliencePromote economic stabilityEnhance environmental resilience
The Heartland Regional Resiliency Coalition provides a platform for local governments in the seven-county region to work together to prepare for and recover from natural and other unexpected events that may adversely impact our economy, security, health, environment, and built infrastructure.
