ab32publichealth -- CAT-PHWG ANNOUNCEMENT: President's Task Force on Climate Preparedness Recommendations Unveiled

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 11:56:50
On Nov. 17th the Obama Administration unveiled recommendations
made by the President’s State, Local and Tribal Leaders Task
Force on Climate Preparedness. Last year, as part of his Climate
Action Plan, President Obama established the State, Local, and
Tribal Leaders Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience,
which recognizes that even as we act to curb the carbon pollution
that drives climate change, we must also improve our ability to
prepare for the climate impacts we are already seeing across the
country. 

The Task Force’s recommendations are the culmination of a year of
work to solicit input from across State, local, Tribal, and
territorial governments, trade associations, academic
organizations, civil society, and various other stakeholders and
translate their first-hand experiences into action items for the
Federal Government to support climate-ready communities.
 
The Administration is also announcing new tools and actions to
help these leaders and others contend with climate impacts and
build healthy and resilient communities, including a web-based
Climate Resilience Toolkit that provides for the first time easy,
intuitive access to dozens of Federal tools that can directly
help planners and decision makers across America conduct their
work in the context of a changing climate.
