The guidebook also demonstrates how communities can adopt a flexible approach to hazard planning and accommodate a wide range of attitudes toward restrictions on the use of property to mitigate hazards.

In addition, it provides coastal parish and state land use planners with information on legal and policy tools that allow them to use available powers to achieve public safety goals and to optimize the effectiveness and value of coastal restoration projects. Where sufficient powers are lacking, the project identifies gaps and provides information to land use planners, allowing them to promote land use planning as a necessary element in addressing land loss issues. This project also provides lawmakers with information on land use planning issues that will assist them in enacting legislation necessary to respond to the requests and needs of land use planners for greater powers with which to address coastal land loss issues.
