Coastal Hazards and Community Resiliency in Delaware

Delaware Sea Grant

To help reduce Delaware communities’ vulnerability to coastal hazards, the Delaware Sea Grant College Program, University of Delaware’s Coastal Community Enhancement Initiative, and Delaware’s Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control have cooperated with the Delaware Emergency Management Agency to increase awareness of coastal hazards and provide communities information and resources that will improve societal, economic and personal resiliency to coastal hazards. The information provided in this document is intended to encourage development of projects and programs that will provide an effective means of educating not only the public, but also government official and communities about natural coastal hazards and associated mitigation measures.
