As communities across the United States face increasing threats from hazards like hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and tornadoes, HUD has sought to provide both financial resources and practical tools to help localities build resilience into their long-range planning. These efforts include HUD’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), CDBG Disaster Recovery (CDBG–DR), and CDBG Mitigation (CDBG–MIT) programs, all of which play a critical role in enabling communities to better prepare for and respond to disasters. Several recent guidebooks seek to assist communities in enhancing their resilience, but there has been less focus on practical challenges communities face when implementing such guidance. To address this gap, HUD undertook this study to demonstrate how communities can effectively integrate resilience objectives into their existing long-range planning efforts. In partnership with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) worked with three diverse communities—the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, Burlington County, New Jersey, and rural Southampton Township within Burlington County. ARA worked with the communities to apply the NIST Community Resilience Planning Guide and its Playbook to develop resilience plans and documented the implementation experience in the subject report.
