This storymap catalogues the Alabama Barrier Island Restoration Assessment whichaimed to investigate viable options for the restoration of Dauphin Island following damage incurred after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. It summarizes the needs assessment, baseline assessment, benefit modeling, and solutions approaches used. This storymap could serve as a helpful tool for planning understanding how similar initatives could be undertaken.

Spanning restoration techniques and a variety of case studies, this guide catalogs the challenges and successes of riparian restoration in the Southwest United States. By exemplifying the lessons learned from each project, the authors aggregate collective knowledge on riparian restoration.

This report includes the Urban Forest Climate and Health Adaptation Menu, which presents information
and ideas for optimizing the climate and human health outcomes of urban forestry projects and provides
professionals who are working at the intersection of climate, public health, and urban forestry with resources
to support climate adaptation planning and activities. Notably, it does not provide specific recommendations or
guidance for any particular place; rather, it offers a range of action opportunities at different scales that can be

This guidebook compiles several case studies illustrating alternative approaches to riverbank stabilization across Washington state.

This document highlights engineering with nature (EWN) principles/projects by providing illustrations and descriptions of constructed projectsaround the contiguous U.S. and globe.

Incorporating the natural dynamism in dune ecosystems into restoration projects is covered in the chapter, in addition to specific techniques. The authors also discuss the benefits involved with dune restoration and balancing restoration with recreation.

This report identifies various funding sources that can be used to support stormwater management programs or finance individual projects. This includes financing options for individual projects and larger-scale programs, examples of existing muncipal programs and a resource list to further explain opportunities.

This online guide is a hub where planners and practitioners share solutions, best practices, and lessons learned for building resilience, as well as the necessary tools, data and maps, and publications. The guide shares community-authored case studies that provide explicit direction on the best practices and tools to use. Learn more about the collaborative process used to develop the Great Lakes Coastal Resilience Planning Guide.

This report seeks to quanitfy the restoration benefits of EarthCorps invasive species management projects in the Puget Sound. It details practical methods to evaluate the benefits of different invasive management activites.

This report seeks to quanitfy the restoration benefits of an EarthCorpswetland enhancement project in Bellingham, WA. It details practical ways to evaluate the benefits of different restoration methods.

This invasive species management plan identifies species of concern, management priorities, and proposed management actions foraddressing those priorities.

The National Mitigation Investment Strategy is a single national strategy for advancing mitigation investment to reduce risks posed by and increase the nation’s resilience to natural hazards, such as sea level rise, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and earthquakes. This portfolio showcases mitigation projects to provide practitioners with examples of activities that integrate the Investment Strategy’s goals and reflect the guiding principles of the Disaster Recovery Reform Act of 2018 (DRRA).

The purpose of this document is to provide a resource that communities can use to identify and evaluate a range of potential mitigation actions for reducing risk to natural hazards and disasters. The focus of this document is mitigation, which is action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to hazards. The document discusses 16 natural hazards, and describes mitigation strategies across several different aspects of mitigation within them. These include regulations requirements through FEMA, education prorgams, and natural systems protection (NBS) ideas. 

This project includes two elements: an assessment of local policies and an assessment of state policies
to enhance flood resilience as a part of the Smart Growth program in Vermont.

With a special emphasis on the role climate change plays in shaping riverine systems, this resource provides information on how to plan and enact a river restoration project. With numerous case studies of successful riverine connectivity projects, the guidebook provides insights into designing an effective plan.

Following the course of one specific project, the authors illustrate techniques that can be used for oyster restoration. The book delves into bathymetric surveys, community engagement, and larval recruitment.

This webpage outlines FEMA's Risk MAP strategy, links to FEMA's flood risk products (maps, reports, and a databasw), and overview cards (technical and non-technical) explaining the features, benefits and uses of these products.
