Walla Walla Climate Resilience Element Community Survey |
Introduction
The City of Walla Walla is adding a Climate Resilience Element into its Comprehensive Plan in response to Washington State House Bill (HB) 1181, passed in 2023. A comprehensive plan element is similar to a chapter or section that focuses on a specific topic, such as land use, transportation, or economic development. This law requires cities and counties to integrate climate resilience policies into comprehensive plan updates.
What is climate resiliency?
Climate resilience policies focus on preparing Walla Walla to adapt to rising temperatures, smoke from wildfires, more intense storms, and flooding—natural hazards that are becoming more severe due to a changing climate and changing weather patterns.
