Our profession has been challenged to respond to everything from climate change, social & economic issues, rising sea levels, resiliency and rebuilding through increasing storm impacts, master planning for rapid population growth, and environmental disasters from industrial development. Located in the panhandle for 2022, we have an opportunity to look at the impacts from Hurricane Michael and the response in the aftermath first hand, the rapid redevelopment and growth occurring in the panhandle and how other areas of Florida have responded to their own coastal impacts https://www.aslaflorida.org/2022_CoastToCoast
