Description:
The Vulnerability, Consequences, and Adaptation Planning Scenarios (VCAPS) process supports planning by local decision makers concerned about coastal management and climate change vulnerability and adaptation. The VCAPS process is intended to help communities become more resilient to weather and climate change. During VCAPS, community members: - Engage in dialogue about future weather and climate threats. - Summarize and integrate local knowledge and experience about how the community will be impacted. - Identify gaps in data, knowledge, or understanding. - Think strategically about how to prevent harm by taking action in both the short and long term VCAPS builds on concepts of hazard management and vulnerability and uses participatory modeling techniques to organize and document dialogue and learning. Local knowledge and experience is integrated with scientific knowledge. The process is flexible and can be fine-tuned to the interests of participants.
