Activities
Building a Resilient Tampa Bay, together.
In 2018, the Tampa Bay Regional Resiliency Coalition (TBRRC) formed to coordinate climate adaptation and mitigation activities across county lines, to advance local and regional responses to and preparations for economic and social disruption projected to result from sea-level rise, and to provide state and local agencies with access to technical assistance and support in addressing the effects of climate change. Read the Memorandum of Understanding.
The Steering Committee is comprised of elected officials from throughout the Tampa Bay region who serve as the leadership board for this important initiative. Meetings are held immediately following TBRPC Full Council meetings.

We invite companies, universities and non-profit organizations to become Resiliency Coalition Partners. Your knowledge and expertise are crucial, and your input is needed on a range of topics from community vulnerability, housing, energy resiliency, green infrastructure, to economics and business resiliency.
As a Resiliency Coalition Partner, your organization will be invited to meetings and webinars to discuss local risks, priorities, and strategies. You will be a part of important efforts which will advance resiliency planning, identify best practices, innovative policies and funding opportunities in our communities.
