How may assistance be used?
Planning, Community Development Respond to threats to military installation resilience caused by lack of necessary resources outside the military installation which can adversely affect the military installation and its operations supporting the National Defense Strategy through a military installation resilience review. The State and/or local government partners with the military installation to plan and carry out strategies promoting protection of critical resources adjacent to installations, ranges, and military flight corridors which are vital to military installation resilience. The review includes a strategic plan with specific implementation actions to ensure military installation resilience are compatible with, and supportive of, vital training, testing, and other military missions.

Examples of Funded Projects
Fiscal Year 2020 Example Project 1. Enable civilian authorities to work with their local installation to identify high priority transportation corridors and impact to the local mission from vulnerability of these routes to water threats (e.g., storm surge, wave action, high water levels, tidal action, storm water, and groundwater) through a community-based planning process yielding actionable enhancements following consideration of environmentally and economically feasible improvements to optimize the sustainability of the local mission. Position civilian authorities to carry out solutions by leveraging public and private resources to enhance the resiliency of the local installation. Example Project 2. Enable civilian authorities to work with their local installation to conduct a resiliency review of an 11-mile water line as the main source of water for the local mission, including a business plan of investment and sustainment strategies to ensure the long-term reliability of the line. Local planning effort included development of a GIS-based query tool to improve awareness among stakeholders and an educational symposium to raise awareness across military and civilian stakeholders. Example Project 3. Enable civilian authorities to work with their local installation to conduct an energy and water resilience study to identify and analyze vulnerabilities to critical and aging infrastructure; points of failure (energy and water); transportation limitations; need for water importation; seismic, flood, wind, heat, extreme weather, drought and chronically overdrawn water table as natural risks; communication risks; and to create an action plan to support the continued mission readiness of the installation. July 2019 magnitude 6.4 and 7.1 earthquakes affected installation and region highlighting several vulnerabilities.
