Resilient 305
Resilient305 Strategy is a living document created to address resilience challenges that are prioritized through intergovernmental and community collaboration. Throughout the process Greater Miami and the Beaches (GM&B) engaged thousands of stakeholders to help shape the Strategy and make sure it reflected the input from a wide range of expertise, ages, ethnicities, cultures, income levels and geographic areas. Continued interaction will be key to the successful implementation of the Strategy.
