This Month: Safe Growth Audits

As communities grow and develop, they become more vulnerable to natural hazards. The October issue of Zoning Practice outlined principles and techniques for conducting safe growth audits as a means of reducing those vulnerabilities. The material is drawn from an upcoming PAS Report, Integrating Hazard Mitigation into Local Planning, due out next spring.

Author David R. Godschalk, FAICP, will be online November 16-30 to answer questions about safe growth audits.
