Rand Corporation Study Offers Tools for Coastal Communities. A new report from the RAND Corporation highlights how policymakers can better develop strategies to restore and maintain coastal landscapes and reduce risks to coastal communities from storms like Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Katrina. The report describes two key analytic tools that can be used to evaluate how coastal protection and restoration decisions made now will play out over time, even given an uncertain future. For example, a community weighing whether to implement a marsh-building project now or in the future can use the tool to see how the project fares against different rates of rising sea levels over time. The study, “Strengthening Coastal Planning: How Coastal Regions Could Benefit from Louisianas Planning and Analysis Framework” can be found here: rand.org/news/press/2014/02/21.html.
