Organization: Missouri University of Science & Technology
Primary Investigator: Grace Yan
Research Track: Building Resilient Communities Through Preparedness
Climate change and the increasing intensity and frequency of floods and coastal storms call for a proactive and equitable approach to finance mitigation for homes, infrastructure, and institutions benefiting all citizens of Charleston South Carolina Region. Resilience Micro-Bonds may provide the flexible resources to fund such projects and, when combined with advanced engineering and scientific prediction, can help Charleston collectively reach its resilience planning goals.
