The state Resiliency Program launched the North Carolina Resilient Communities Planning Guide in January 2025. A collection of resources, the guide provides North Carolina communities and their partners with a step-by-step process to develop a resilience plan or integrate resilience into existing planning documents. During the webinar, staff will introduce the guide and communities will share their resilience projects and investments.
