Length: 5 to 7 pages or 1500 to 2100 words, feel free to include pictures and graphics

A number of significant storms have hit and damaged major American Cities over the last decade. Climate Change theory suggests that the magnitude and frequency of storms will increase in the coming years. Reflecting on the readings, guest lecture and discussion in class consider: How could regional planning help to mitigate the impacts of major weather events? Both before to prevent property damage and in the recovery stages.

Discuss the following points:

• Should the analysis work be single or integrated topic focus? See the PAS report if you have questions

• Factors that should be considered regionally: utilities, storm water flows, parks, etc.

• Analysis tools that could be applied to help define potential problems: GIS

• Governance structures: How will decisions be made?

• Public involvement: What techniques should be used to develop the process for decision making? Stakeholder and public involvement? Look at the Envision Utah model that was presented.

• Land use planning

• Infrastructure planning

• Land preservation, including farmland

• Parks and recreational facility placement and planning

• Implementation tools and techniques

• You can also make the "do nothing argument"

The questions above are intended to be a starting point for your paper; you are welcome to identify other questions or concepts.
