Planning for Resilience: Evaluation and Prioritization (PREP) Tool

An EVALUATION & PRIORITIZATION tool for LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN VIRGINIA’S COASTAL REGION

The PREP Tool is a three-step process to support local governments in establishing a set of resilience priorities informed by level of risk, resilience efforts to date, and best practices in resilience planning. The tool provides a starting point for local governments who have not yet evaluated their vulnerabilities, assessed impacts, identified resilience-building actions, or developed resilience plans to guide future resilience efforts. If your locality is interested in using the PREP tool, please contact Dr. Wie Yusuf at Old Dominion University (jyusuf@odu.edu).
