This management-level course aims to build on the NDPTC coastal hazards curriculum (AWR-379 Coastal Hazards Awareness and PER-378 Coastal Hazard Risk Assessment Tools), providing key information for advanced practitioners involved in planning for coastal hazards.  The course will focus on the planning aspect of coastal hazards, covering coastal hazards planning principles, coastal planning and management context, and planning strategies that can be employed to reduce hazard risk and increase resilience in coastal communities.  The course content will aim to bridge concepts related to hazard mitigation and coastal management, highlighting the mutual objectives and ways to achieve them through planning.

This training is intended to provide decision-makers and planners with the information needed to create and align plans that reduce vulnerability to coastal hazards, integrate participatory planning processes, consider the interactions at the land-sea interface, and manage the uncertainty of hazard impacts.
