APA Needs Your Help!
The APA Hazards Planning Research Center is currently looking for planning documents and related publications that address hazard mitigation, to create a collection of best practices that make the connection between hazard mitigation planning and other local planning activities. Planners have a real opportunity to affect change on a wide variety of subjects through their strategic position as advisors to policy makers in town, city, county, and regional governments.

Specifically they are seeking the following types of documents and published materials (examples in parentheses):

  • long-range visioning documents/blueprints/goals and objectives
  • local plans (comprehensive, neighborhood, regional; housing, transportation, economic development; energy, climate change; water supply management)
  • development management tools (zoning regulations, subdivision regulations, design guidelines)
  • public investment tools (capital improvements program, general fund, financial revitalization tools)
  • local policies
  • built development projects

Help them learn what communities have already accomplished in integrating hazard mitigation into planning. Please send information (documents or links to web-based materials) to jschwab@planning.org. Participate in the online questionnaire and learn more about the project.
