Resilient Jacksonville was developed collaboratively in consultation with hundreds of stakeholders, residents, and subject matter experts throughout the 18-month planning process. The actions included in Resilient Jacksonville emerged out of a series of workshops, public meetings and events, surveys, and discussions.
The primary stakeholder engagement activities that guided this process are included in the timeline below. This timeline is not exhaustive and does not include, for example, many small group or one-on-one conversations and the direct input, revisions, and feedback that advanced the actions in this Strategy. Getting to this point was a group effort, and making these actions a reality will require continued collaboration through implementation.

BUILDING ON EXISTING EFFORTS TO STRENGTHEN JACKSONVILLE’S RESILIENCE
The work to develop a comprehensive resilience strategy for Jacksonville builds on many recent efforts in the wake of Hurricanes Matthew and Irma. These efforts have improved our data and understanding of the current and future risks Jacksonville may face and supported the initial development of policies, plans, and projects across City departments that help us prepare for and adapt to these risks.
Resilient Jacksonville brings these and other existing and ongoing efforts under a comprehensive program so that we can prioritize investments based on sound science and our community’s goals for the future.
