N.C. Resilient Coastal Communities Program The N.C. Resilient Coastal Communities Program aims to facilitate a community-driven process for setting coastal resilience goals, assessing existing and needed local capacity, and identifying and prioritizing projects to enhance community resilience to coastal hazards. Participating communities will walk through a framework leading to the development of “shovel-ready” projects. Local governments throughout the 20 coastal counties will be eligible to apply for direct technical assistance to complete a community engagement process, risk and vulnerability assessment, and develop a resilience project portfolio. The four phases of the program include: Phase 1: Community Engagement and Risk & Vulnerability Assessment Phase 2: Planning, Project Selection and Prioritization Phase 3: Engineering and Design Phase 4: Implementation This initiative, funded through the N.C. State Legislature and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, will provide funding to local governments to help overcome barriers in coastal resilience and adaptation planning, boost local government capacity, and support a proactive, sustainable, and equitable approach to coastal resilience planning and project implementation. Applications and Information Phase 3 Information & Application The primary objective of Phase 3 of the RCCP is to provide funding to assist communities in the engineering and design of a prioritized project identified in their RCCP Resilience Strategy, or other existing plan that meets the RCCP’s Phases 1 and 2 planning criteria. The application deadline is June 3rd.
