and classifying each possible action in terms of a set of criteria, such as;
Effectiveness
At reducing community vulnerability to flood
At reduction community exposure to flood
At reducing community share of climate change drivers
Tradeoffs
Community impacts,
Land, other services,
Cost, time and resources
Savings or efficiency, takes minor amount of staff time, or can roll into existing duties with existing staff time and resources,
Additional costs, takes modest amount of additional staff time, or can be contracted out in future budgets
Major costs, takes significant amount of staff time, or can be included in future capital improvement plans.
Composite score / category; Prioritize possible actions
Quick Win = do now or contract under flood risk reduction effort.
Planning = develop a plan as part of flood risk reduction effort, or include in CWRMP revision, future budget, or Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
Development = may be worth doing with additional resources, a special circumstance, a partnership or technology improvements change cost structure.
None = Benefit is not worth the cost or effort.
Policy Development - Revise CWRMP
