Community Resilience
AML Project Portfolio
Overview
Community resilience projects will strengthen Alaska’s local governments ability to withstand and recover from environmental, economic, and social challenges. By investing in infrastructure, emergency preparedness, and local capacity-building, these efforts will help protect vulnerable communities from the impacts of climate change and natural disasters. They also support stronger local economies and improve public health and safety through better planning and resource management. In the long term, resilience projects will empower Alaskans to adapt and thrive in the face of change.
