V alentine’s Day Tea Party
On Tuesday, January 30 th, the Town of Burgaw held two public
workshops through the North Carolina Resilient Coastal
Communities Program (RCCP) to hear what members of the
community feel is needed to build resilience to natural hazards.
The community input provided will be incorporated into the
technical and vulnerability risk assessment being conducted to
support a prioritized list of actionable projects. The RCCP provides
financial grants and technical assistance to local governments to
support a proactive, equitable, and locally -driven approach to
resilience planning and project implementation. Missed one of the
workshops? You can still provide input for the Burgaw Resilience
Strategy by taking a short survey using the QR code provided.
