Coastal Community Resilience Tools for Gulf of Mexico Communities Photo credit: UNO-CHART Photo credit: FEMA

Gulf of Mexico Alliance “A partnership of the states of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, with the goal of significantly increasing regional collaboration to enhance the ecological and economic health of the Gulf of Mexico.”

Coastal Community Resilience Priority Issue Team MISSION: Coordinate and enhance efforts of local, state, federal, business and non- profit partners to assist coastal communities and ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico region in becoming more resilient in structure and function.

Resilience is the capacity of both Social and Environment System’s ability to adapt to and recover from change
