What is a Toolkit?
Many local strategies or “tools” to help are right in your backyard, or at your doorstep. Using the right tools can help you build resiliency at home, in your neighborhood, & throughout your watershed.
The Toolkits are highlighted groupings of tools, strategies, & approaches to help you achieve goals for drought, fire, flooding, & climate resilience.
