Planning and Regulatory 

 

Condominiums, homeowner associations and communities in sea level rise vulnerable areas face the challenges of establishing monetary reserves and action plans to meet their unique adaptation needs in the coming years. Similarly, business interests have the need to create appropriate action plans to be ready for challenging coastal risks.

Coastal Risk Consultants (CRC) provides research and analysis in identifying current and proposed federal, state and local laws which are crucial in meeting the fiduciary obligations of Board Members, officers, owners, planners and managers.

 

CRC also furnishes background reports and understanding of public policy as it impacts coastal exposures.  Across the United States, local and state governments are considering, and in some cases implementing, laws to address rising waters. Property owners and real estate professionals need to know about these legislative initiatives and their impacts. Our client-focused alerts are designed to keep stakeholders aware of important public policy developments impacting coastal risk.

 

By researching regulatory issues to help property owners, potential purchasers and real estate brokers keep on top of changing government initiatives, CRC clients can stay in compliance with rapidly evolving sea level adaptation legislation and rules. This includes ascertaining whether properties are included now, and in the future, in Adaptation Action Areas and special taxing districts affected by rising seas, storm surge and repeated tidal flooding. CRC helps property owners understand what inclusion of these zones means today and in the years to come.

We go beyond the technical science of coastal risks and chart the waters of public policy as it affects vulnerable interests and properties.
