Memorandum of Understanding For Review and Ratification
Draft Date: June 23,2020
WHEREAS, the Southwest Florida Regional Resiliency Compact (hereinafter, the Compact) has been
formed to develop a regionally consistent approach to the impacts of climate change and to advance local
and regional responses to and preparations for economic and community disruption projected to result from
the impacts of climate change; and
WHEREAS, the Counties of Charlotte, Lee, and Collier and the municipalities in these counties
(hereinafter, the Compact Members) form a unique and extraordinary area, sharing a sense of community,
economy, and critically important environmental resources; and

and unique ecosystems which are closely coupled to the region's history and cultural heritage; and

visitors to our 3 counties in 2019 and is heavily dependent on its unique natural resources to promote and
sustain that tourism; and
WHEREAS, the Southwest Florida region is especially vulnerable to the impacts of a changing climate,
including: sea-level rise, rainfall, heat events, wildfires, droughts, flooding, and storms, which threaten
community priorities, human well-being, and natural resources; and
WHEREAS, rising sea levels, intense rainfall, rising water temperatures, and other climatic stressors will
compromise crucial drainage infrastructure and water quality(e.g., saltwater intrusion); and
WHEREAS,extreme weather events can impact the lives of residents, damage property, and disrupt
businesses; and
WHEREAS, natural areas including forests, beaches with dunes, wetlands, mangroves, and oyster reefs
can
provide valuable flood risk reduction and water quality benefits and may be compromised by changing
climate conditions; and
WHEREAS, planning for and implementation of activities to reduce the Southwest Florida region's
vulnerability to a changing climate is among the most consequential actions the Southwest Florida region
could pursue; and
WHEREAS, a regionally consistent message communicated through a coordinated outreach program to
citizens of, and visitors to, the Southwest Florida region is critically important to ensuring thorough
understanding of the issues facing the region; and
WHEREAS, the Compact Members are committed to being resilient to a changing climate, and will
consider
adaptation and risk reduction strategies intended to ensure public safety and safeguard infrastructure,

16A22
property, cultural and environmental assets, and basic quality of life for current residents and future
generations; and
WHEREAS,measures to mitigate hazard risks provide a significant return on investment because resilient
communities and regions support a thriving economy and create opportunities to attract new businesses
and economic investments; and
WHEREAS,proactively preparing for a changing climate will be less costly and enhance the major sectors
of the regional economy, maintaining and growing manufacturing, health care,tourism, agriculture, and
other economic drivers; and
WHEREAS, many of the activities undertaken to enhance resiliency to a changing climate will be
concurrent and supportive of existing local efforts, such as addressing aging infrastructure, emergency
management, and public health; and
WHEREAS, local governments play a critical role in fostering social equity in the face of climate-related
challenges, including the potential for community displacement; and
WHEREAS,while counties and cities in Southwest Florida have independently identified and undertaken
activities to address vulnerabilities, they recognize the value of a collaborative commitment to build
resiliency in the region; and
WHEREAS,the Compact Members have joined in formation of the Southwest Florida Regional Resiliency
Compact to coordinate their efforts and enhance their abilities to prepare,adapt,and mitigate for the effects
of climate change in their individual communities and throughout the entire Southwest Florida region.
